Storyline/Lore
- “A powerful war party of the Black Dragonflight, led by the fearsome Twilight dragon, Halion, have launched an assault upon the Ruby Sanctum beneath Wyrmrest Temple. By destroying the sanctum, the Black Dragonflight look to crush those that would stand in the way of their master’s reemergence into Azeroth and to ultimately shatter the Wyrmrest Accord – the sacred bond that unites the dragonflights.
The battle that is to come will surely deal a crippling blow to the Red Dragonflight, however, it is up to you to stop this unprecedented offensive and defend the Ruby Sanctum. First you must face the assault of Halion's servants, Saviana Ragefire, Baltharus the Warborn, and General Zarithrian, before squaring off against Halion the Twilight Destroyer, a new and deadly force in this realm.” - The Ruby Sanctum will feature 10- and 25-player content, Heroic difficulties and all-new rewards.
- This could quite possibly be the very beginning of Deathwing's plan to dismantle the Wyrmrest Accord from within.
- The Ruby Sanctum will be an integral part in the advancement of the Cataclysm storyline.
- When you're able to enter the Ruby Sanctum, you'll find yourself in the wake of an assault that's already taken place.
