Twilight Highlands quests



Twilight Highlands is the fifth and final level-up zone of World of Warcraft: Cataclysm, found on the east coast of Khaz Modan on the Eastern Kingdoms. The quest chain starts in either Stormwind or Orgrimmar and involves a short chain in the capital city before heading out to the highlands proper.

The first half of the zone plays out in separate storylines for the Alliance and Horde, but once players reach the Maw of Madness, they share the storyline for the rest of the zone.
