Abilities & Strategy

Overview

The Dark Naaru counts down the minutes with each harrowing toll of Death's Dirge that echoes off the sacred walls. Heaven's Glaives rip and tear through the armies of light as L'ura conducts the infinite power held within The Darkwell to extinguish all that is holy. When Midnight falls and Azeroth descends into darkness, brave Torchbearers emerge from the shadows to face The Dark Archangel and fight to see another sunrise.
