Lore

To the night elves, the Barrow Deeps are a sacred place: barrow dens are scattered across the land, but their winding tunnels are said to lead to one pivotal location. The night elves hold their most dangerous prisoners there; rumour has it an infamous demon hunter was once kept here, and you may see his prison. They are hesitant to let anyone in, even allies, and like the furbolgs of Blackmaw Hold they may be dealing with some kind of corruption.

What we know

  • “If I were you, I'd send no less than 10 of my greatest adventurers” (press).
  • Press identify it as Illidan Stormrage's former prison.
  • The slide showed a cavern of blue ice and hanging roots with groups of enemies on the ledges.
  • Blizzard presented it as the first of the game's raids.
