Vision of Stormwind

Last wiki revision 2023-03-12

The Vision of Stormwind is a constructed realm that is accessed through the Tenebrous Gateway found in the Chamber of Heart. The Stormwind City shown in here, is not that of the waking world, but the dangers are as real as can be. Once unlocked, a series of altars can be activated to change the experience. The vision can be evacuated via the Expedition Gateway. One Vessel of Horrific Visions is needed per expedition into the vision. Due to the twisted nature of this realm, the sanity of adventurers who brave its dangers is constantly drained. The Titanic Research Archive in the Chamber of Heart can be used to research ways to better withstand the madness of the Old Gods. The research is unlocked through Corrupted Mementos. All enemies in the visions have a chance to drop these. They can also be found in Black Caches hidden through the visions. Most of the writing found within the vision has been changed to Shath'Yar.

A vision will end, when the adventurers run out of sanity or a disciple of N'Zoth has been defeated. Once the disciple is defeated, the adventurers will be brought back to the hub area and presented with a Corrupted Chest.

While a single vision need not take long to clear, if only the main objectives are sought out, searching every nook and cranny may prove bountiful. Adventurers will occasionally find corpses looking like their own.
