Searing Gorge is a level 48-50 zone. The main storyline deals with the Dark Iron clan's involvement with the Twilight's Hammer and the forces of Ragnaros. The chain starts on the path from Badlands at Thorium Advance, and then loops around the zone via Thorium Point and Iron Summit, then down into the Cauldron and the Slag Pit to deal with Archduke Calcinder, the leader of Ragnaros' forces. After Searing Gorge comes the Burning Steppes storyline.
