Highmountain is a zone located along the northern portion of the Broken Isles. Few places in Azeroth are as beautiful - or as perilous - as Highmountain, with rugged slopes teeming with wild beasts, roaring waterfalls, and breathtaking views. A vast network of caverns winds through the mountain's heart, holding legendary treasures and secrets from Azeroth's distant past.

Highmountain was named in honor of the tauren Huln Highmountain, who played a crucial role during the War of the Ancients. Because of his bravery in battle, Huln and his people, the Highmountain Tauren, received a blessing from the demigod Cenarius, so that they would always have the favor of the demigod.
