Boss abilities and loot tables from Blizzard's own journal, boss by boss.

Agents of the Lich King have captured Alliance forces and put them to work in this frozen quarry. To disrupt this critical source of saronite used for the Scourge's war effort, Lady Jaina Proudmoore and her allies aim to free these captives and put down the leader of this operation, Scourgelord Tyrannus.

Written notes for this instance are a later milestone. Everything on this page comes from Blizzard's journal data.
