The Desert Highlands is an explorable zone in the northern Crystal Desert. It includes both the Tomb of the Primeval Kings and Glint's Lair.

Getting there

The Desert Highlands can be reached by using the Diviner's Gate, located to the north of Crystal Oasis. Following the road leading from Elona Reach to the Diviner's Passage leads to the gate. The gate is used during The Sacrifice story step, but it can be used to enter the map prior to starting the story.
