Searing Gorge is a contested zone in the Eastern Kingdoms in the 43-52 range for players. Searing Gorge is home to a group of exceptionally stout dwarves called the Thorium Brotherhood, who have separated from the Dark Iron clan. Just as its name might show, the whole zone is a charred, burning hellscape, within a deep foreboding valley. Thorium point.unless thats searing gorge. I always get the two mixed up.
- For the lore of the zone and its status after the Cataclysm, see Searing Gorge.

Searing gorge is a medium to high level zone located almost at the center of the Eastern Kingdoms and nestled between the dwarven starting land of Dun Morogh and The Burning Steppes. As its name might suggest, the entire zone is a charred, burning hellscape, within a deep foreboding valley. 评论来自 9110 Searing Gorge is a miniature version of Burning Steppes and a Slight taste of Hellfire Peninsula. Blackrock Mountain, which is home to many raid instances, divides this zone from the Burning Steppes and divides the Blackrock Ogres from the Dark Iron Dwarves. Reaching Searing Gorge used to be tricky and required a special quest to get a key to open the tunnel between Loch Modan and Searing Gorge. Searing Gorge ranges from levels 15-30. If Chromie Time is enabled, Searing Gorge's level range is 15-50. Check more information on Chromie Time in our guide!

For the Alliance, the entrance to the Searing Gorge in Loch Modan is locked until the [Key to Searing Gorge] is obtained via a quest line that culminates in At Last! (level 48 quest). However, any Rogue with lockpicking of at least 225 can pick the doors. An alternate path can be found in the Badlands just south of Kargath. This is the primary Horde entrance, as they have no way of obtaining the key.

History
Dustfire Valley
Just as Blackrock orcs and their allies dominate Burning Steppes, so Dark Iron dwarves dominate the Searing Gorge. A large population of Dark Iron dwarves, War Golems, and Elementals resides in this dark, mountainous area.
The climate is very similar to Burning Steppes, as it was the same catastrophe that blackened both: the summoning of Ragnaros. The Searing Gorge is a part of Khaz Modan. Before being shattered by the summoning it was a mountainous region, part of the Redridge Mountains.
Large mining operations take place in The Cauldron, a giant excavation site forming a huge rift in the middle of the Searing Gorge. The Slag Pit lies within The Cauldron and is an underground mining site rich with multiple types of ore. The mining work is mainly done by slave labor, which consists for the most part of captured enemies.
Ever since the Dark Iron dwarves' capital, Thaurissan, was destroyed by the summoning of Ragnaros, they have searched for a landmass to control for their filthy, industrious works. The Searing Gorge was the obvious choice due to a low military presence, scarce population, few settlements, and high vulnerability. The dwarven garrisons were soon overrun by a massive Dark Iron invasion which forced them to retreat to Loch Modan and seal the passage.
This area was normally sealed, and adventurers could only enter by traversing through Blackrock Mountain or by obtaining the [Key to Searing Gorge], which follows a series of quests. Recently, however, the Horde garrisons stationed at Kargath, in the Badlands, have grown curious about the use of the area for tactical purposes, and have cut a narrow pass through the mountains south of their encampment.
Recently, the Thorium Brotherhood built a settlement in this area called Thorium Point.

When I was a low level Paladin I wanted to collect as many flight paths as I could, the trickiest was Thorium Point, Searing Gorge. I did this at about level 12. I just re-traced it as I realised it's a bit quicker to get to the Badlands too, than the run to, and then through, Loch Modan. Well, it might be quicker, it might not, but it's certainly more fun!Start at 78,50, head up the path (1). Follow it up to about 80, 40 then head right (2). You're heading along that ridge you can see stretching right in (3). In (4) you can look down and see some nice buildings. Don't get sidetracked, head kind of up and right to 82,58 (5). There's a little slope here that you should go round to the left of, not right, or you'll slip to the valley floor.
At 81,65, which is kind of straight on and left a bit (6), you can just see Searing Gorge in the distance. Head down veering left a little bit, carefully, as there are some steep falls around. head for 88,0 (7) which is a safe place to drop down from.
There's quite a big area to roam around in here (9), and you can drop down either in the Badlands (anywhere in the north really), Loch Modan (valley of kings), or Searing Gorge.
Don't ride down the spine between Searing Gorge and Badlands without due care and attention, or you'll fall in this hole (10) and have to hearthstone it out!
If you head west as far as you can, you'll find a place to drop down into Searing Gorge. Keep going west and stay as high up as you can to the north. Eventually you'll come across a small flat snowy area with some machines in it. It's deserted, so don't worry. Drop down into it and out the western exit. Follow the path down and you'll reach Thorium Point shortly. I didn't pull any mobs on the way down, but might have been lucky!
Once there, the flight master is kind of through the camp to the left a bit.
