Between Worlds

Between Worlds is a quest for level 45. It is step 9 of 11 in The Highlord's Return storyline. The quest's turn-in marker is in Hellfire Peninsula at 85.3, 50.1. It rewards 775 experience and money.

Description

Kruul boasts damnation, but his power has not yet fully manifested. His minions have taken his heart to hasten his rebirth in the nether.

We do not have much time.

Go to the place of Kruul's fall at the Stair of Destiny in desolate Outland, where the link to his soul is strongest. There you must pry open the way to his realm.

I must prepare for the battle to come. Good luck, champion.

For Legion remix: Apparently, it bugs if you start flying after taking the portal to Hellfire Peninsula - DON'T FLY, STAY ON THE GROUND. If you bugged it try what I wrote below:
If the screen is just grey or telling you to return to the timeline, try flying away/around and force it to "phase you".
That worked for me, and the Quest objective appeared, and the grey screen disappeared.
Edit: Also, I think only one person can do this quest at a time, so if it's not available in Hellfire Peninsula, it may be because someone is already doing it. Takes roughly 2 minutes to complete.
If it remains grey, try waiting a bit before flying around again.
Alternatively, you can try and go back to Dalaran and retake the portal and DO NOT FLY again. xd

Having phasing issues with this quest... I flew down to the spot, first... and nothing appeared. Then went back up top and ran down on a ground mount. Had to run past the spot and back towards it. Then it brought Kor'vas into phase.
Initial quests of 7.2 have some bugs to work out.

Is a portal back to Dalaran too much to ask.

Where to go

Pins are the quest’s own POI points from the current retail client, projected onto the in-game zone map. The game marks one blob as the quest’s turn-in; the rest are objective areas. Points that fall outside a map’s window are dropped rather than guessed at.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

Confirming SuspicionsLevel 45
That heart is the last remaining piece of Highlord Kruul - once one of the Legion's best warlords. Many years ago Kruul's armies nearly descended upon the Dark Portal to crush the Azerothian assault on Outland. We Illidari intercepted before he could strike.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

Dark OmensLevel 45
We won't be able to defeat Kruul alone. Once the portal has stabilized I will send word so we can bring the Highlord to justice. In the meantime, you should inform the Kirin Tor of Vazuun's death - and Kruul's return.

The storyline at a glance

The Highlord's Return has 11 steps, from Guardian: Aid of the Illidari to A Gift From the Six.

Maps its steps are placed on (steps per map): Dalaran (10), Hellfire Peninsula (1).
