Dungeon - The War Within
The Rookery
3 encounters, 26 boss abilities and 23 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 Stormperch is not only the home and rookery of the stormrooks but also the barracks and headquarters for Stormward Baelgrim and the stormriders. For thousands of years, the Stormperch has stood unbreached by the earthen's enemies. Unfortunately, defense of the rookery is harder when the breach comes from within.
