Highlands Crossing is the area that bridges Wortham and its Caverns of Araneae and the Southern Highlands. It's a tiny area but boasts a Waypoint and very often a shrine tucked in on the left of the bridge so don't just hare across the bridge to Highlands or you'll miss it.
This is the first area you'll encounter the Withermoth.

CheckpointsEdit
Checkpoints are respawn points. Players who die appear back at the last checkpoint they reached. Players can also leave the game and resume at the last checkpoint at a later date. In effect they are a 'save game' feature. The following Checkpoints appear in Highlands Crossing
- After leaving the Chamber going in to the Highlands Crossing.
WaypointEdit
Waypoints are special plates on the ground that form a network of jump points allowing players to instantly teleport between them. The nearest waypoint for Highlands Crossing appears in the same place, just right of the bridge. It's the infamous rainbow waypoint, 'ground zero' of the Art controversy that kicked off not long after Blizzard revealed Diablo III.
