TheWoWDBTo honour tradition(MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS):
After defeating Zooval the ghost of N'Zoth appears.
Jailer: Old god? Is it... over?
N'Zoth lays a comforting tentacle on Jailer' gauntlet.
NZoh: At long last. No Big Bad rules forever, my friend.
Jailer: I see... only light and void, with dragons... before me...
Jailer' eyes roll back into his head and he dies, his hand falling to the ground. N'Zoth closes his friend's eyes and gently lays him on the ground as walks in.
N'Zoth: Without its master's command, the restless Mawsworn and Souls will become an even greater threat to the Shadowlands.
N'Zoth stands, facing Bolvar.
N'Zoth: Control over souls must be maintained... There must always be... The Arbiter...
N'Zoth' ghost disappear, and Bolvar shields his eyes from the blinding golden Crown of Wills. Bolvar picks it up and examines it.
Bolvar: The weight of such a burden... it must be mine. For there is no other to—
Beaten Pelagos appear.
Pelagos: Bolvar... You hold a grim destiny in your hands, death knight... but it is not your own.
Bolvar: Pelagos... by all that is holy...
Pelagos: The Jailer' domination magic... sealed my fate. The world of the undead can no longer comfort me. Place the golden Crown of Wills on me, Bolvar..
Bolvar turns his back on Pelagos, preparing to walk away.
Bolvar: NO, my blue friend. I cannot.
Pelagos: DO IT BOLVAR! You and these brave heroes have your own destinies to fulfill. This last act of service... is mine.
Bolvar: You will not be forgotten... blue guy.
Pelagos: I MUST be forgotten Bolvar, If the Shadowland is to live free from the tyranny of the Mawsworn – they must never know what was done here today.
Bolvar nods, the Sepulcher of the First Ones begins to shake violently. There is a flash of light and Pelagos's eyes are glowing yellow.
Pelagos: Tell them only that the Jailer is dead...
Pelagos: and that Pelagos died with him...
Pelagos: NOW GO. LEAVE THE SHADOWLANDS – AND NEVER RETURN.Meanwhile Sylvanas is lying helpless.
Genn Greymane comes and tries to finisher her off.
No! - Yells Anduin as he parries Genn' attack- She must stand trial!Sylvanas: I Submit to the judgement... of Tyrande Whisperind.
Tyrande smiles and realizes what's going to happen.
Everyone stands united, holding hands. The sun is waking up in the Shadowlands, the sun's rays illuminate Sylvanas' face and she whispers calmly - At long last... The Shadowlands are free!

Abilities & Strategy
Overview
The champions of Azeroth assault the Jailer as he attempts to use the Machine of Origination to remake existence. The Jailer starts the battle by asserting control over the machine's Control Pylons using Relentless Domination. Once all Control Pylons have been brought under his control, the Jailer begins an Unholy Attunement in an attempt to activate the machine. The force of Shattering Blast can disrupt pylons and delay this attunement. When the Jailer connects a line of Control Pylons to the center of the machine, The Unmaking begins. The Machine of Origination begins to drain Azeroth of its lifeforce, while the Jailer assaults Azeroth with Desolation. Once Azeroth's life force reaches 10% the Jailer will execute Azeroth and unmake all of existence.
