Badlands is a neutral level 45-48 level-up zone in southeastern Khaz Modan of the Eastern Kingdoms. The primary quest line revolves around the redemption of the black dragonflight. There are a few side quests that are optional to the zone, but do fill in some of the lore.
Players are directed to the zone via Light's Hope Chapel, where upon conclusion of the Eastern Plaguelands storyline, a Steamwheedle Cartel goblin will connect players to Fuselight-by-the-Sea on the Badlands' east coast. Upon the conclusion of the Badlands storyline, players are next directed to Searing Gorge.
The progression of the storyline is tracked in the achievement [Badlands Quests].
