TheWoWDBRaid - Shadowlands
Shadowlands
6 encounters, 40 boss abilities and 104 drops, with the Adventure Guide’s own ability and strategy notes for each fight. Every drop links to its item page; tradeable drops carry a live Auction House price.
The Shadowlands are the lands beyond the mortal realm of Azeroth, where the souls of the dead travel to upon passing. The Arbiter, a being of great power, once guided these souls to one of many different afterlives. Now, all souls are being sent to the Maw, a place of eternal torment. The denizens of the Shadowlands, from the peaceful Kyrians of Bastion and the Night Fae of Ardenweald to the cunning Venthyr of Revendreth and warlike Necrolords of Maldraxxus, must now come together to stem the flow of souls.
