I dont know why people keep focusing on Kedge, it's in a lake. Granted BB is at sea level, but even still the assumption that a lake on the other side of a zone called Butcherblock Mountains is at or below sea level is dubious.

Butcherblock is at sea level. Crossing into Dagnor's there's a slight incline that leads into a decline, then into the lake, THEN into Kedge Keep. So you're already well below sea level when you zone into Kedge.

What we can be sure of is that Siren's grotto starts at sea level and goes down. Also, I dont know exactly where ST and DN are, but assuming they are below their respective teleporters, they are good candidates for lowest zone. Hell, the lava pit in NToV might be the lowest point in the game. I dont see any above ground temple there.

But there are numerous staircases leading up in NTOV before you get to the lava pit. The way that WW zones into ToV suggests that since the entrance is in a deep canyon it may be the lowest -- however WW does have an ocean to measure sea level, and the entrance to ToV isn't below sea level.

As for highest zone it is almost certainly High Keep, have you seen the drop down to EK on the back side of Highpass? If it's not high keep it's probably Frontier Mountains, some of those peaks are above the top of the skybox. Everfrost seems unlikely to me as I suspect it's cold because it's up north, not necessarily high in elevation.

The peaks of Frontier Mountains feasibly reach to the top of the Dreadlands' western glacier, about where the entrance to the "Hidden Valley" is, and the Combine Spires dwarf even those. What's never made sense to me is that the Combine Spires for how ridiculously oversized they are, are only visible from a certain distance. Those things are so huge that even with atmospheric blurring you should be able to see them from The Overthere.
