Halls of Origination
Dungeon GuideRetailBoss abilities and loot tables from Blizzard's own journal, boss by boss.
Constructed by the great titans, the Halls of Origination are filled with ancient relics and the fearsome guardians that protect them. Rumors abound that the complex also contains a devastating weapon capable of reordering all life on Azeroth. Deathwing has moved to obtain this terrifying device through his agent, Al'Akir the Windlord. Thus far the facility's communication systems have been fully corrupted, but the weapon inside continues to elude Deathwing's grasp.
Written notes for this instance are a later milestone. Everything on this page comes from Blizzard's journal data.
