Shadowmoon Burial Grounds

Shadowmoon Burial Grounds

Dungeon ID: 537

Warlords of Draenor · Dungeon · Requires level 1

The traditional burial grounds of the Shadowmoon clan are the final resting place for countless generations of ancestors. The fallen chieftain Ner'zhul, in the depths of his depravity, has sacrificed the very soul of his clan in a desperate quest for power. Now the ancestral spirits are restless, tormented and used to fuel dark rituals that will pull all of Draenor into the void if allowed to run their course.

Sadana Bloodfury is a powerful acolyte of the Shadowmoon clan, deeply connected to the lunar cycles.

Nhallish

Copied!

When Ner'zhul tore the fabric of reality and allowed the Void to spill into the ritual burial grounds of the Shadowmoon clan, the malefic spirit Nhallish came through that rift in search of souls upon which to feed. Ancient and born of pure darkness, Nhallish seeks to devour all life.

Nhallish raises spirits to attack his foes, calls down blasts of void energy, and periodically banishes all players to a spectral realm where they must defeat and recapture their own souls to escape.

Bonemaw

Copied!

Deep within the subterranean caverns under Shadowmoon Valley, the carrion worm Bonemaw has a symbiotic relationship with Ner'zhul's followers: The creature feasts upon the dead left in the wake of the Shadowmoon cult's dark rituals, and in return it serves as a formidable guardian of Ner'zhul's inner sanctum.

Overview
Bonemaw smashes his massive frame across the platform to crush his foes, as lesser carrion worms rise from the depths. Periodically, Bonemaw attempts to inhale all players with powerful suction.
