Sold by Zachariah Post, the Undead Horse Merchant in Brill, Tirisfal Glades, for 1 gold. Forsaken buy it outright; every other Horde race has to be Exalted with Undercity first. The Brill he is known to trade in is the one of the past: speak with Zidormi in Tirisfal Glades to see the zone as it was before the Battle for Lordaeron.

Before you go
- Tirisfal Glades switched to the past: speak with Zidormi (69.4, 62.8) and ask to see the zone before the Battle for Lordaeron. A character that still sees the old zone skips this · about 0.1 h
- Exalted with Undercity, unless the buyer is Forsaken: the Undercity Tabard from the quartermaster, Captain Donald Adams, worn in dungeons turns their reputation into Undercity's; quests in Tirisfal Glades, Silverpine Forest, Hillsbrad Foothills and Western Plaguelands, the cooking and fishing dailies in Undercity and the Argent Tournament count too · about 3 h
- 1 gold
In all: about 3.1 h of play, 1 gold, starting from nothing.
Getting there
/way Tirisfal Glades 61.8 51.8 - Take the portal from Orgrimmar to Undercity*
- Fly the rest of the way
/way is for the TomTom addon. Travel times are estimates: flying at 55 yards a second in a straight
line and 30 seconds for a portal. A star marks a portal that needs a quest or other unlock done first.
Notes and sources
Zachariah Post stands in more than one version of the world, and the sources do not agree on which one to go to. The place given above is the old Brill reached through Zidormi, as for his other horses; their notes have the dated reports from his Wowhead page: a trade there in 2023 and a 2026 reply saying Zidormi was what worked in Midnight. A character for whom the past Brill does not work should try the tent in the Ruins of Lordaeron and then Orgrimmar.
Wowhead's sold-by list for this item (as read in 2026) names three of him:
- the old one in Tirisfal Glades (creature 4731), at 1 gold
- one in Orgrimmar (creature 141691), at 1 gold
- one in the Tirisfal Glades of patch 9.2.5 (creature 186016), at 80 silver, which is the price less the 20% an Exalted buyer gets
Against the old Brill, wow.gg's guide for this mount (updated 2026) sends the buyer to his tent in the north-east corner of the Ruins of Lordaeron (65.9, 67.6) and uses Zidormi the other way round: if Brill and the ruins look destroyed, speak with her to bring the zone to its present, rebuilt state, and he should be in the tent. It names the top of the Gates of Orgrimmar as a fallback. No dated report of buying at the tent was read.
The wiki has him at the Gates of Orgrimmar after the Battle for Lordaeron, back in Brill once the Forsaken began rebuilding it, and then 'relocated to the city'. Its Zidormi page says patch 9.2.5 changed her present-day version of the zone for characters with the achievement Return to Lordaeron. So there are three places he may sell, and which a given character sees depends on its own progress. The 8 comments on Wowhead's item page end in 2015 and say nothing of where he stands now.
The journal leaves out the reputation and the timeline. By the wiki, only undead can buy from him by default and others must be Exalted with Undercity, and his gossip says so. Wowhead's tooltip lists every Horde race on the item. The mount is account-wide once learned, so any Forsaken on the account can buy it for 1 gold and skip the reputation; wow.gg suggests a class-trial Forsaken for exactly that, which was not tried. Where a character that is not Forsaken starts with Undercity was not found, so the hours may overstate it.
For the tabard the wiki places Captain Donald Adams in the Trade Quarter of the old Undercity (63.6, 48.8), which lies in the same past timeline as the old Brill; wow.gg has him in the Ruins of Lordaeron. The wiki's Championing page says a capital's tabard works in dungeons of any level and gives no amounts.
The item asks for level 10 (wiki, since patch 9.0.1). He also sells the Black, Blue and Brown Skeletal Horses at 1 gold and three Skeletal Warhorses at 10 gold, so the one reputation opens all seven.
Guides: wow.gg's has the steps, though it disagrees with the place given above. Wowhead's is a player's list (last edited 2024) of every racial mount with its vendor and the rule that they are bought by being Exalted with the faction or by being of its race; it names this mount under Zachariah Post and says nothing of where he stands.
Confidence in this entry: medium. Looked up in 2026.
