Briefly about the plot in the new expansion
The expansion has intrigued many players with the return of an old character known from the Legion expansion, Xal’atath. After so many years, she has returned and will play a key role in the new storyline, taking on the role of the antagonist. Alleria Windrunner is the second important character in this expansion. She will do everything to thwart Xal’atath’s evil plans, and you will help her in this mission.
New raid and its role in the plot
The new expansion will feature a raid dedicated to the Nerubian race. It is located in the new area of Azj-kahet in the City of Threads. Here lies the Nerub’ar Palace, Queen Ansurek home and her lieutenants. They pose a significant threat to the world as they assist Xal’atath in executing her plans. In return, they have gained access to dark evolutions, which making them even more dangerous. They are collecting the blood of the Old Gods, which possess immense power and can resurrect god-like beings.
Raid bosses
In total, the raid features 8 boss encounters. Each boss fight takes place on a specific floor and arena. Below is a list of all the bosses with a brief description.
Ulgrax the Devourer
This is a huge Nerub that protects the court of Queen Ansurek. His hunger knows no bounds, so he doesn’t mind feasting on uninvited guests and dissolving them in his mucus.
The Bloodbound Horror
In the very depths of the Nerubian palace, in places where the ancient blood of the gods accumulates, an unknown entity was born. He wields dark and bloody magic. Don’t let the darkness take over you.
Sikran
He is a highly trusted confidant of the queen, known as an exceptional fighter at court who has never known defeat. The queen proclaimed him Captain of the Sureki for his achievements and remarkable combat skills. Responsible for the queen’s safety, he will do whatever it takes to protect her.
Rasha’nan
This is one of Ansurek’s terrifying experiments, which transformed a proud Nerubian into a flying horror resembling a bat. Besides fury and bloodlust, Rasha’nan feels no other emotions. She possesses immense physical strength and inflicts pure damage on her targets. Be cautious, as each strike could be fatal for you and your allies.
Broodtwister Ovi’nax
Broodtwister Ovi’nax conducts various experiments in the lower levels of the Palace. He drenches eggs with dark, eerie slime, creating mutated species. He resembles a hybrid of a worm and a beetle and wields shadow magic.
Nexus-Princess Ky’veza
This is a relatively new entity in the palace, but has quickly proven its worth. Her skills in swift, shadowy assassinations and the ability to use phantoms help to eliminate numerous problems.
The Silken Court Anub’arash and Skeinspinner Takazj
In this clash, you will fight two opponents at once. The Scarab Lord and the Strand Spinner are the Queen’s closest advisors, but they hate each other. During the fight with them, they will not only fight with you but also interfere with each other, which will give the raid an advantage.
Queen Ansurek
