Level The nine new Raids

The nine new dungeons

Blizzard's nine, levels 13 to 60. 4 are in the client tables and open to their pages; the rest show their zone until the tables carry them.

In the tables Hall of Thanes Level 13–18 · Beneath Ironforge, Dun Morogh

The dwarven royal crypt, invaded by what look like Dark Iron dwarves. The Horde has to travel into Alliance territory to reach it.

In the tables Ruins of Lordaeron Level 15–20 · The ruined city above the Undercity, Tirisfal Glades

The Forsaken are reclaiming the Scourge-haunted ruins, and a necromancer is gathering there. The Alliance has to enter Horde territory to reach it.

In the tables Excavation Site: Wetlands Level 24–29 · Above Whelgar's Excavation, near Thelgen Rock and Dun Algaz

An area frozen in time, with titan constructs and the Explorers' League. The development notes list it at 26 to 31.

In the tables City of Dalaran Level 28–33 · Alterac Mountains

The barrier is down, the enchantments backfire and the constructs rampage. You enter through the sewers, and there is more than one path through.

Alliance"An Alarming Request" from Emissary Jacques in Southshore

Horde"Key to the City" and "Prison Break-In" from Magus Wordeen Voidglare in Tarren Mill

Zone The Drowned City Level 35–40 · Off Stranglethorn Vale, west of Grom'gol

Risen troll ruins held by trolls and naga, with a wrecked pirate ship in the middle of it. You dive underwater to reach the entrance. It is open-air, and a storm builds toward the finale.

Zone Krol'dok Stronghold Level 40–45 · Riverglades

An ogre fortress with workshops and encampments. Its outrunners have been kidnapping travelers.

Zone Alcaz Prison Level 48–53 · Alcaz Island, Dustwallow Marsh

Rumored to hold King Varian Wrynn. The Defias and the naga are fighting over it inside.

Zone Blackmaw Hold Level 55–60 · Azshara, behind a sealed gate

A furbolg city, where the Blackmaw clan fights a corruption. More than one route through, and the deepest parts lead further below Azeroth, toward the Barrow Deeps.

Zone Shaper's Terrace Level 58–60 · Northern Un'Goro Crater

A titan facility. You gather power crystals across Un'Goro and use them at consoles inside to open its challenges.
