March on Quel'Danas Raid Finder and Story Mode Now Live!

Darkness has eclipsed the Isle of Quel’Danas, clouding the skies above Silvermoon City. With Arator the Redeemer by their side, the Champions of Azeroth must march on the Sunwell before the light of the blood elves is lost forever.

March on Quel'Danas Raid Finder and Story Mode are now live! Take your first steps into these raids with a look at the full release schedule and a preview of the bosses you'll encounter from our previously published article.

Good luck this season, champions, and don't forget to check the Great Vault each week for your new rewards!


Explore the Lands, Legends, and Legacy of The Burning Crusade to Midnight

Whether you joined World of Warcraft from the beginning, took your first steps through the Dark Portal into Outland in The Burning Crusade, or arrived later to pick up on the story of Azeroth through Lorewalker Cho, we’re all on this journey together—and what a journey it’s been… and continues to be.

In Midnight, we find ourselves back where many of our fondest memories were forged and where new ones are made with familiar places, faces, and stories brought to life once more. From Eversong’s gold-lit boughs to Zul’Aman’s shadowed ruins, the road to Midnight is paved with echoes. 

Join us as we connect the threads of time in our previously published article, and discover how familiar lands and legends return—changed by time, scarred by war, and poised to face the Void.
