  • The Twilight Highlands (formerly just the Highlands) are found in northeastern Khaz Modan, east of the Wetlands. It is the location of the ancient dwarven fortress, Grim Batol, and also houses a majority of Twilight's Hammer settlements, working with Deathwing and his Black Dragonflight. There is a small Red Dragonflight presence. The story of the Twilight Dragonflight unfolds in this zone.
    The highlands have undergone constant upheaval throughout their history, with races and factions thriving, collapsing, and changing seemingly without pause. The fortress-city of Grim Batol has played host to no fewer than three potent factions: the Wildhammer dwarves, who abandoned their home after a Dark Iron curse left it uninhabitable; the Red Dragonflight, which was forced to fight for the Horde in the captivity of the Dragonmaw orcs during the Second War; and, of course, the Dragonmaw themselves, who were driven from Grim Batol when the Red Dragonflight was finally freed from their grasp.
    The Twilight Citadel holds the entrance to the Bastion of Twilight, the Twilight's Hammer's stronghold.
    The Dragonmaw now clings to the edges of the highlands. They're no less wild and difficult to deal with than when they ruled Grim Batol, but their knowledge of dragons and warfare is of unquestionable importance, especially amidst the chaos of the Cataclysm. The Wildhammer dwarves dwell in forested outposts among the highlands' mountains; though long friendly with the Alliance, they have only now begun to consider casting their lot in with Stormwind and Ironforge thanks to the entreaties of their cousins, the Bronzebeard clan. Even the mighty Red Dragonflight has suffered greatly in recent months: its members have been decimated by a frenzied, newly aggressive Black Dragonflight attacking relentlessly from the petrified Obsidian Forest.

    I'm back from the holidays. I can't say I had a good time because I was helping my mother to renovate the house. _Maybe_ the next one will be about resting :)
    Regarding this video, well... I did it because I almost forgot everything about Twilight Highlands, except the Grim Batol story. I recommend you to visit Thundermar and Kirthaven, some warm Wildhammer dwarves places. And the lore is actually impressive. I'll let you say first something about the music here.

    15:40 whenever we were in Stonecore and very *very* timely killed the last boss at this right exact moment of the soundtrack, her final voiceline that goes "for my death, countless more will fall. The burden... is now yours to.. bear" it, always sounded so perfectly dramatic like a movie scene ^^ i loved cataclysm quite a lot.
    (same with the second boss of the blackrock dungeon when she says. "all part of the master's plan, your death is, inevitable."
    Damn dude PvE in Cataclysm was insanely fun at least for me as a fire mage main

Got my 'Stood in the Fire' achievement that day.. I believe I was level 84 and a few bars away from 85 haha. Good times.

    • @MrVaeron
      @MrVaeron 2 года назад +1

      Na, its still one of the best Zones, since it ties in so well with the rest of the expansion. Later Xpansions loose that feeling of progress while leveling, that was present till MoP. You really start following a questline when you enter the expansion, to stop Deathwing and his force of Elementals and then you constantly fight against the Twilight Hammer and their bad influence on Nature in various different locations, that all tie a theme (Fire, wind, Earth and Water) until you finally fight the Hammer on his home turf in the Twilight Highlands. People always trash on Cata, and i dont really know why. It was a good expansion, ist just ended on a bad note it did not deserve. I really believe Blizzard thought Dragon Soul would be received better, but in some way it was a let down and the recycling of like 90% visuals from WOTLK was only a part of the problem, not really fighting Deathwing another one. Cata deserved a remarkable endboss like Ragnaros, Illidan, Kiljaeden or Lichking, but it got 3 pure Add fights back2back, yeah, all different from another, but what were they thinking?

I'm really-really grateful to You for You bringing these videos for us, and I'm still enjoy and love all of them. Cataclysm was one of my favorites regarding the music, and even if the Twilight Highlands isn't the nicest and happiest place ever, You were able to make a really awesome video about it. You -as usual- really gave justice to the zone. Thank you very much for your work and efforts! We are all here to support You! You just need to say half a word for me to jump to help You in anything, I could possibly can.

    The Twilight Highlands, a zone with an unique mix of The Shire from LOTR combined with eldritch corruption, which gives quite a peculiar flavor to it.
    Despite having strong lore on paper, and being the max level zone of its expansion, I feel most players forgets the place exists, and the interesting plotlines happening there were never used to their full potential. Grim Batol was criminally underused as a mere dungeon, The Twilight's Hammer was a joke compared to the Scourge or the Burning Legion and the Old Gods and Twilight Dragons implications went nowhere until BFA, which is another can of worms.
    But still, the intrigue of the zone cannot be denied, and I think this is another one that would have benefited greatly from having the current treatment of WoW's Zones. Say what you will about retail, but it's undeniable that today's zones are much better handled, managing to stay relevant the whole expansion, and even after it.
    Such a big comment hehe, but it is a huge trip down to memory lane! Thank you for your video Meisio, incredible as always!
