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

In order to reestablish his dominance over magic, the blue Dragon Aspect, Malygos, has launched a ruthless campaign to sever the link between mortals and the arcane energies coursing through Azeroth. To this end, his blue dragonflight is redirecting the ley lines of the world to the Nexus, Malygos' towering lair.

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