Shadowmoon Burial Grounds

Dungeon GuideRetail

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

The traditional burial grounds of the Shadowmoon clan are the final resting place for countless generations of ancestors. The fallen chieftain Ner'zhul, in the depths of his depravity, has sacrificed the very soul of his clan in a desperate quest for power. Now the ancestral spirits are restless, tormented and used to fuel dark rituals that will pull all of Draenor into the void if allowed to run their course.

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