Obsidian Dragonshrine

Last wiki revision 2023-04-16

The Obsidian Dragonshrine is the black dragonflight's dragonshrine located at the base of a volcano in northwestern Dragonblight. The shrine is as barren and blasted as the Ruby Dragonshrine is lush, its skeletal trees perpetually burning and magma surging just below the skin of the land. While its location at the foot of a volcano reflects the earth-warding duty afforded to the black dragonflight and the potent energies within the earth, its constant smoldering nature is also reflective of the dragonflight's destructive nature and is likely not due to the actions of the Scourge.

During the war against the Lich King, adventurers were sent here by a bitter Nalice to aid Serinar in removing the invading Scourge, as this charred site is a sacred place for the black dragons.

Enraged by his failure to protect the world and, most importantly, the Horde, this time-ravaged shade of Baine Bloodhoof lingers within the ruins of the Obsidian Dragonshrine. Although he's still as powerful as the tauren high chieftain from the present, within this shattered future Azeroth, this guilt-ridden echo is little more than a discordant vessel of unquenchable malice and anger. The remaining black dragonflight still wanders their sacred ground, trying to prevent any intruders from entering.

The mobs are in packs of three, with one each per group. Some groups path, while some are stationary. It is suggested groups take out the Seers first.

At an undisclosed point in the future, the Obsidian Dragonshrine comes under attack by Burning Legion-controlled undead, much to the dismay of Wrathion. Zorathides plots the death of Chronormu.

  • During the PTR, the Obsidian Dragonshrine was referred to as Black Dragonshrine on the End Time world map.
