I'm pretty sure I stumbled upon the new hot zone quests (and thus some of the new hotzones). They center around Aiden Silverwing in Crescent Reach, who is on the ground underneath the dragons. He's basically lost some family heirlooms that he wants you to recover. You don't have to talk to him first to get the quest. If you find the heirloom, it gives you the quest when you loot it.
The essence of the quest is that in one hotzone, you get a piece of jewelery, and in the next higher hotzone, you get a shard that you can combine with the piece of jewelery from the previous hotzone (in a container that Aiden Silverwing gives you) to form a better piece of jewelery. The items appear to be random drops from any mob in the zone. So far, I've uncovered the following hotzones:
Lvl 20: Mistmoore
Lvl 25: Permafrost
Lvl 30: Trakanon's Teeth
Lvl 35: Warsilik's Woods
Lvl 40: Dawnshround Peaks
Lvl 45: Velketor's Labyrinth
I stumbled on this while in Permafrost so that's where I started the quest. So far I have combined:
Silverwing Loop (from Mistmoore) with Glinting Shard (from Permafrost) to form Glinting Loop of the Silverwing
Silverwing Circlet (from Permafrost) with Radiant Shard (from Trak) to form Radiant Band of the Silverwing
Silverwing Choker (from Trak) with Fiery Shard (from Warsiliks) to form Scintillating Lavaliere of the Silverwing
Silverwing Emblem (from Warsiliks) with Gleaming Shard (from Dawnshroud) to form Lustrous Insignia of the Silverwing
Also found an aug in Dawnshroud: Glinting Sunstone
That's all the info I was able to gather tonight. If I find more I'll post it.
