Dungeon - The Burning Crusade

The Mechanar

3 encounters and 25 drops. Every drop links to its item page; tradeable drops carry a live Auction House price.

The mighty Tempest Keep was created by the enigmatic naaru: sentient beings of pure energy and the sworn enemies of the Burning Legion. In addition to serving as a base of operations for the naaru, the structure itself possesses the technology to teleport through alternate dimensions, traveling from one location to another in the blink of an eye.
