Dreadmist Peak

Dreadmist Peak is a mountain northwest of the Crossroads in the Northern 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.

Three years after the Third War, Jaina Proudmoore, Aegwynn, and Colonel Lorena confronted the demon Zmodlor here after he tried to start a war between the Horde and Theramore. The group fought many grellkin minions and warlocks of the Burning Blade here, but in the end Jaina and Aegwynn together were able to banish the demon.

To get there from the Crossroads, head north along the road until you get to a fork. Face northwest and you will see Dreadmist Peak looming before you.

Dreadmist Peak is the fog-enshrouded peak of Dreadmist Mountain and it is home to agents of the Burning Blade, orc warlocks linked to the ancient Shadow Council. Here they practice occult rituals, using an item of power called a demonstone to corrupt the flora and fauna of the land.

• An undead mage named Sarilus Foulborne sits atop the Peak. He used his powers to control Befouled Water Elementals in Ashenvale. Alliance characters confronted him in the quest Mage Summoner.
• Rathorian, the leader of this group of Burning Blade cultists, is sometimes inside the Dreadmist Den.
• Tauren druids needed to get a sample of water from the peak that was believed to poison the gazelles of the Barrens.

Dreadmist Peak was possibly a volcano. The slopes of the mountain remind one of solidified lava flows.
