Where These Pieces Drop
10 of this set's 50 pieces drop from 7 encounters in Throne of Thunder. The rest come from vendors, quests, crafting or world drops, which the dungeon journal does not record.
7 bosses in Throne of Thunder drop pieces of this set. Each instance below carries its Adventure Guide entry, where its entrance is, and what each boss drops.
When Pandaria separated from Kalimdor many thousands of years ago, a veil of mist kept outsiders from discovering the newly-formed continent. The mists also hid a reminder of an ancient evil: Lei Shen's Throne of Thunder. During his rule, this fortress was the seat of the Thunder King's power. Even after his death, great swathes of corrupted energy lingered, and now, the resurrected Thunder King and the Zandalari trolls intend to harness that energy to establish the reign of Lei Shen once again.
The entrance is in Isle of Thunder at 63.8, 32.1 (/way #504 63.8 32.1).

Horridon drops 2 pieces of this set (Wrist, Shoulder) on 10 Player (Heroic) and 25 Player (Heroic). Adventure Guide map pin: 26.8, 78.7 on the Throne of Thunder map. The Zandalari brought powerful creatures with them to the Isle of the Thunder King to use as engines of war. Led by the War-God Jalak, the dinomancers of the Zandalari Beast Ward use ancient tribal magics to strengthen the great beasts and command obedience. The horns of Horridon, the fabled mount of Jalak himself, can tear through the stone walls of a keep as a blade cuts silk.
Council of Elders drops 1 piece of this set (Chest) on 10 Player (Heroic) and 25 Player (Heroic). Adventure Guide map pin: 50.0, 19.1 on the Throne of Thunder map. The history of the troll tribes -- the Drakkari, the Farraki, the Amani, and the Gurubashi -- is awash with millennia of betrayal and conflict, but the Zandalari's promise of a new, unstoppable empire has finally united these disparate troll leaders.
Tortos drops 1 piece of this set (Wrist) on 10 Player (Heroic) and 25 Player (Heroic). Adventure Guide map pin: 31.6, 82.1 on the Throne of Thunder map. Over the millennia, small amounts of mogu flesh-shaping magic seeped into the caverns below the Thunder King's citadel. The dark energies warped one of the chamber's native dragon turtles, melding it to the surrounding crystalline walls. Known as Tortos, this amalgamation of flesh and stone has since feasted on the cave's rich mineral deposits and grown to a colossal size.
Primordius drops 1 piece of this set (Legs) on 10 Player (Heroic) and 25 Player (Heroic). Adventure Guide map pin: 57.3, 78.3 on the Throne of Thunder map. Deep within the bowels of Lei Shen's island citadel, mogu flesh-shapers formed the saurok out of a magical substance of unknown origin. When the citadel was abandoned, some experiments languished in the dark pools for far too long....
Dark Animus drops 2 pieces of this set (Legs, Hands) on 10 Player (Heroic) and 25 Player (Heroic). Adventure Guide map pin: 42.7, 57.6 on the Throne of Thunder map. During his reign, Lei Shen labored to build a mechanical servant that would defend his citadel without fear. When his first attempt failed, rage took hold of the Thunder King. He poured this negative emotion into his next, and most successful, creation: the Dark Animus. To this day, the ornate construct observes its duty, empowered by the mysterious substance at the heart of all mogu flesh-shaping experiments.
Twin Empyreans drops 1 piece of this set (Waist) on 10 Player (Heroic) and 25 Player (Heroic). Adventure Guide map pin: 77.9, 38.2 on the Throne of Thunder map. The Twin Empyreans are among the most formidable of the Thunder King's champions. Determined to safeguard his reign, Lei Shen keeps his loyalists close and their combined arsenal against interlopers closer.
Ra-den drops 2 pieces of this set (Feet, Legs) on 10 Player (Heroic) and 25 Player (Heroic). Adventure Guide map pin: 52.3, 81.0 on the Throne of Thunder map. Lei Shen's life changed forever when he stumbled into a dark chamber below what are now the Mogu'shan Vaults. Legend has it he found an ancient titan keeper guarding a miraculous device known as the Engine of Nalak'sha. No one knows what transpired between the two beings, but Lei Shen later emerged from the site bristling with the power to forge an empire. The keeper's fate -- and his current whereabouts -- remain a mystery.

Versions and Companion Sets
16 companion sets shipped in the Throne of Thunder group alongside it:
Matched in the game files: each piece’s ItemDisplayInfo names its 3D model and texture. The same model with another texture is a recolour. Only pieces with a 3D model of their own (helms, shoulders, cloaks, weapons, shields, off-hands and some belts and robes) can be compared this way; pieces drawn from textures alone are left out.
The game data carries 3 separate set records under the name Vestments of the Haunted Forest - one per class or armor weight, plus the per-slot recolours the appearance was built from. This page is the one we index for the name; the others are listed here so nothing is lost.
