Dreadmist Peak



Dreadmist Peak is a mountain northwest of the Crossroads in the Barrens. As you climb to the top of the Peak, the atmosphere becomes red and foggy. At the top is the home of a group of Burning Blade cultists. They protect the Demon Seed which is in the Dreadmist Den.

The orange miasma is residuum from an ancient demonic curse.
