Uldum is the level 83-84 zone of Cataclysm. The full breadcrumb chain to Uldum starts during the Deepholm storyline as soon as players hit level 83. Two quests open up in the player's respective faction's room in the Temple of Earth and involves a few quests at the Twilight Terrace before heading to Stormwind or Orgrimmar to check in, then down to Thistleshrub Valley in Tanaris to meet up with Adarrah's Caravan. Adarrah's quest, Easy Money, is the the only required breadcrumb to the zone, as the quests before it are all optional, but they do fill in some of the lore.
After completing Easy Money, the storyline proper begins in the Lost City of the Tol'vir with Traitors!
After Uldum will be the capstone level-up zone of Cataclysm, Twilight Highlands.
