4 bosses in Dragon Soul drop pieces of this set. Each instance below carries its Adventure Guide entry, where its entrance is, and what each boss drops.

Dragon Soul

Forged by Deathwing during the War of the Ancients, the Dragon Soul harnessed the combined power of the dragonflights until it was ultimately destroyed. Through the Caverns of Time, Thrall and the remaining dragonflights were able to recover the powerful artifact before its destruction. Now they have rallied at Wyrmrest Temple in a desperate attempt to use the might of the Dragon Soul against Deathwing himself.

The entrance is in Caverns of Time at 31.5, 41.5 (/way #74 31.5 41.5).

Dragon Soul entrance

• Morchok drops 1 piece of this set (Wrist) on 10 Player (Heroic) and 25 Player (Heroic). Adventure Guide map pin: 50.4, 69.3 on the Dragon Soul map. The most powerful elemental still under Deathwing's sway, Morchok-once a passive guardian-is now convinced that his only respite will come with Azeroth's demise. Morchok rages against the foundation of Wyrmrest Temple, Azeroth's last beacon of hope in the Hour of Twilight.
• Warlord Zon'ozz drops 1 piece of this set (Feet) on 10 Player (Heroic) and 25 Player (Heroic). Adventure Guide map pin: 51.0, 53.0 on the Dragon Soul map. Countless ages ago, Warlord Zon'ozz and his soldiers waged endless war against the forces of C'Thun and Yogg-Saron. Millennia have passed, but the warlord still serves the chaotic might of the Old God N'Zoth. Deathwing has now unleashed this legendary faceless one to crush the defenders of Wyrmrest Temple.
• Hagara the Stormbinder drops 1 piece of this set (Waist) on 10 Player (Heroic) and 25 Player (Heroic). Adventure Guide map pin: 52.8, 52.0 on the Dragon Soul map. Hagara, one of the first students of arcane magic under the Forsaken, showed surprising potential for one who had started learning so late in life. But in her undisciplined attempts to bind elementals into servitude, she was ensnared and twisted by the Windlord, Al'Akir. Now fiercely loyal to the Twilight's Hammer, Hagara binds others for her elemental masters to torment.
• Spine of Deathwing drops 1 piece of this set (Shoulder) on 10 Player (Heroic) and 25 Player (Heroic). Adventure Guide map pin: 33.2, 85.3 on the Dragon Soul map. When Deathwing first channeled the Dragon Soul's power against the other flights, the massive energies that were unleashed threatened to break apart his very body. Rather than forgo this weapon, he had adamantium plates fused to his scales to hold his body together. Later reinforced with elementium, these plates are now his weakness--the sole vulnerability to Deathwing's lethal presence.
