What is the Twilight Grove portal thing for? It looks like outland... but it doesn't go anywhere. What's goin on??

This is a good level(for alliance) to quest in since you can go from 20-30 very quickly because there are a lot of quests. Also if you use 2 handed swords, Archeus is awesome and is a quest reward. On pvp servers Horde sometimes like to run around ganking the low level Alliance for fun. Stay off the road and you should be ok, but it's a long run back and forth between Raven Hill and Duskwood.

There is a little bit of everything in this zone. Spiders, wolves, undead, humans, and ogres. The worgen are one of the few skinnable humanoids, and makes it easy to level the skill because there are so many. There are a bunch of rare spawns that give some good greens. The mining is ok, but a lot of the iron is hard to get to because they are in the hills and the trees make it hard to see the way to get there.

Everyone at one point or another want to see what's in the Twilight Grove in the middle of the zone. The last time I went there there was an elite dragon walking around, so you might want to just forget going in there.

There's an odd grave site, with some of those creepy statues with the burning eyes overlooking the area. It's a human's grave, and he's holding a sword, so he must be some kind of revered guy. It can't be Morgan Ladimore, because his grave is over at Raven Hill.... I'm not sure who else was a revered hero from Duskwood, besides Ladimore.... It's a neat place, though; the coords are (89,30).

Any Horde that comes from Stranglethorn is too high for this area, even if it did have quests (which it doesn't.) You can explore for what little experience you gain from doing so, but otherwise this area holds no real purpose for Horde.

Most are going to be traveling through to go to the Deadmines or are on the way to Swamp of Sorrows for the first time. My strategy is to hug the south border and go counter clockwise until you run into the road to Deadwind Pass. Any hunters looking for a rare pet should note Naraxis' location just south of the road to Deadwind pass. She resides in a cave with some 20-something spiders around her. She is an extremely rare spawn, so if you don't see her, just keep going to Stonard and come back later.

The average levels here mean most mobs don't pose a threat, and really are only an annoyance. Staying unknown here is important because of the relative distance to Stormwind and the occasional 60-70 Alliance running through to get to STV/etc.

didnt there used to be a red dragon in the twilight grove? where does that portal go? how do you use it?

Looking at the Duskwood map, Deadwind Pass is directly East of Darkshire. On this map, the entrance is at the end of the path going East leading away from Darkshire into the mountains. Once on the path, keep going straight until you reach a fork (Sleeping Gorge) in the road. At this fork, go left (to Swamp of Sorrows).
