| + | '''Valithria Dreamwalker''', a captured [[green dragon]], is the first boss of the [[Frostwing Halls]] wing of the [[Icecrown Citadel]] raid. The fight ends when the raid has succeeded in healing Valithria up to 100%, while adds spawn in decreasing intervals. The fight is a chaotic battle for survival. The loss of a tank or a healer could easily result in a wipe. |

| − | '''Brill''' is a small [[town]] in the [[Tirisfal Glades]] of northern [[Lordaeron]]. Like Tirisfal itself, the town is controlled by the [[Forsaken]]. Upon leaving [[Deathknell]], new Forsaken players will be directed to Brill where they will continue the Forsaken's war against both the [[Scarlet Crusade]] and ever-present [[Scourge]]. It is located in the center of Tirisfal, directly north of the [[Capital City of Lordaeron]]. |

||
| − | Brill was once a small town within the human kingdom of Lordaeron. It was one of the earliest towns to become afflicted with the [[Plague of Undeath]] that would eventually cripple the northern lands. It was at Brill that the necromancer [[Kel'Thuzad]], still a living man, first started his experiments with the Plague that would come to be the demise of the kingdom of Lordaeron. The success of the infestation was such that it allowed Kel'Thuzad to convince the [[Lich King]] to launch the invasion even before it was planned. The mass graveyard just outside of Brill was made to accommodate the large number of deaths Tirisfal suffered when the Plague first came. The town was investigated by Prince [[Arthas]] during his mission to uncover the source of the Plague. Following the weakening of the Lich King due to the spell cast by [[Illidan]], [[Sylvanas]]'s rebel Forsaken were able to quickly assume control of the village, along with numerous other sites in Tirisfal Glades. |

It was moved to a location immediately north of the ruins of Lordaeron's Capital City for ''World of Warcraft''. |

| + | == Setup == |
||
| − | At Cold Hearth Manor: |
||
| + | Valithria starts at 50% health and the objective is to heal her up to full. Between half and two-thirds of the healers should concentrate on her, while the other healers keep the raid up. This usually translates to 1 Raid healer and 1-2 healers on Valithria (10 Man) or 2 raid healers and 3-4 healers on Valithria (25 Man). |
||
| − | *{{RaceIcon|Undead|Female|Small}} {{NPC|Horde|Constance Brisboise|Apprentice Clothier}} |
||
| + | Adds spawn from the gates. In 25 player, all four gates spawn adds, in 10 player it's only the front two. The spawn rate increases over time. After 7/? (10/25 player) minutes, Suppressors and Blazing Skeletons start to spawn continuously, which usually leads to a quick wipe. |
||
| − | At camp southeast of Brill: |
||
| − | *{{RaceIcon|Undead|Female|Small}} {{NPC|Horde|Martine Tramblay|Fishing Supplies Vendor}} |
||
| + | A basic strategy is to loosely assign one group of tanks and damage dealers per add portal. |

||
| − | At [[Cold Hearth Manor]]: |
||
| + | ==== 10 Player ==== |
||
| − | *{{RaceIcon|Undead|Female|Small}} {{NPC|Horde|Bowen Brisboise}} (Tailoring Trainer) |
||
| + | Since only the closest two gates spawn adds, the back half of the room can be ignored (except when dream portals are opened). One or two damage dealers should be assigned to deal with suppressors. Suppressors can spawn from either side or both at once and only have about 35,000 or so health. The tanks should stand in the middle between the two gates to handle any Archmage or Abomination that comes out. Valithria's healers should set up near her, but close enough so that the tanks can still see them in the event that something needs to be pulled off of them. |
||
| + | ==== 25 Player ==== |
||
| − | At [[Brightwater Lake]]: |
||
| + | The raid should split up into two groups, one positioned to the right of Valithria, the other to the left. Each group is responsible for the adds that spawn on their side, and should only take care of adds on the other side if all adds are dead on their side or they migrate over. Healers assigned to Valithria should stand in the middle of the room "within" Valithria, and only move to jump into portals. This forces the adds to move through the kill groups on either side of her and reduces the chance of migration and missed adds killing the healers. Follow the same kill priorities, and techniques as for 10 player. |

| + | == Add portal groups == |

||
| + | *One raid member per portal focuses on Suppressors (Cat druids are quite effective). |
||
| − | *{{RaceIcon|Undead|Male|Small}} {{NPC|Horde|Rand Rhobart}} (Skinning Trainer) |
||
| + | *Everyone else kills Blazing Skeletons first. |
||
| + | *Zombies are kited by a predesignated ranged DPS. |
||
| + | *Archmages get tanked and taken out by melee. |
||
| + | *Abominations get tanked and taken out by ranged DPS. |
||
| − | === |
+ | ===Class Specific Tips=== |
| + | *Feral Druids are particularly effective against the Suppressors with [[Swipe (Cat)]]. |
||
| − | *{{RaceIcon|Undead|Male|Small}} {{NPC|Horde|Executor Zygand}} (commander of the armed forces in Tirisfal Glades) |
||
| + | *Paladins are good for tanking the Abominations, as [[Consecration]] helps to gather up the worms that spawn, allowing casters to quickly AoE them down. [[Crusader Aura]] works inside the dream, increasing movement speed, making a vast difference on heroic modes. |
||

||
| − | *{{RaceIcon|Undead|Male|Small}} {{NPC|Horde|Deathguard Kel}} |
||
| + | *Hunters are useful against the Zombies, as they can use [[Distracting Shot]] to make sure the zombie initially heads to the hunter and then gain aggro normally through regular attacks as well as use [[Frost Trap]]s and [[Concussive Shot]] to slow them down. Mages can use a slowing frostbolt to kite the Zombies. |
||
| − | *{{RaceIcon|Undead|Female|Small}} {{NPC|Horde|Deathguard Gavin}} |
||
| + | *Any class that has a heal should heal Valithria whenever there is a break in the action for them. Every little bit helps. Even bandaging helps. Also, these classes should patch themselves up whenever possible to reduce the strain on the healers. |

| − | == |
+ | == Dream Portals == |
| + | Every 30 seconds, Valithria provides portals to the Dream. These portals initially appear as small green orbs on the floor even before they can be entered. The Valithria healers should move close to these orbs and enter the portals as soon as they appear. Only one person can use each portal. |
||
| − | === The Scourge === |
||
| − | Like all Forsaken, the citizens of Brill are in a constant battle against their former master, the [[Lich King]]. Occasionally Scourge will slip past the defenders of the Bulwark, the protectors of [[Tirisfal]] from the [[Plaguelands]] to the east. The citizens of Brill have taken it upon themselves to be the Bulwark's rear guard, since success at the Bulwark depends on a one-front battle, as well as protecting the supply lines to the Bulwark. They focus their attentions particularly on the Balnir Farmstead to the east, which has become a haven for interloping Scourge. The scourge have also trickled in to Tirisfal Glades and infested the area west of Brill, near the old bridge. In addition, the Scourge use the Rot Hide Gnolls at Garren's Haunt to further their cause. |
||
| + | The Dream is a version of the room where only Valithria, several green orbs, and the players who entered exist. The objective is to float through as many green orbs as possible. When a player touches an orb it explodes (no damage) and provides a stacking buff (Emerald Vigor), which increases mana regeneration and healing done. After a few seconds, the players automatically return from the Dream and rejoin the rest of the raid. Now they spam heal Valithria until the next portals spawn. As the portals spawn every 30 seconds, and Emerald Vigor's timer is 35 sec, it should never run out and stack sizes should gradually increase up to over 30 near the end of the fight. |
||
| − | The most significant threat from the Scourge comes from the [[Agamand Mills]] to the northwest, which have become a foothold for the Scourge, led by a skeleton named Captain Dargol. Dargol uses the [[Agamand Family Crypt]] to raise the ancestors of the Agamands and use them against the citizens of Brill, who must be constantly alert for their attacks. |
||
| + | Since Emerald Vigor also increases damage done, it may be possible to have DPS classes enter the portals. Preferably this should be a class with low ramp-up time, namely Warriors, Combat Rogues, Hunters, Shaman or any other class/spec that takes a short amount of time to do a large amount of damage. |
||
| − | === Rot Hide gnolls === |
||
| − | The Rot Hide gnolls are a group of undead gnolls, controlled by the [[Scourge]], that have set up camp at Garren's Haunt to the north of Brill. Their primary mission is to steal corpses from the mass graves just outside of Brill so that the Scourge may use them to bolster their forces. They are led by a vile gnoll named Maggot Eye. |
||
| + | The Dream can also be used to avoid getting killed before a wipe. With good timing and a little luck, it's possible to enter the dream and drop out only after combat has finished. After the end of combat there are a few short seconds to run out of the area before respawn. |
||
| − | === Scarlet Crusade === |
||
| − | The [[Scarlet Crusade]] have set up their base of operations in Tirisfal Glades at the [[Scarlet Monastery]], high on a hill to the northeast of Brill. In addition, they have a number of outposts throughout Tirisfal Glades (mostly ruined towers from the last war) from which to engage their attacks and raids against the Scourge and Forsaken. The humans at the [[Solliden Farmstead]] to the west of Brill aid the Scarlet Crusade in their fight against the undead. |
||
| + | If players stand in a Frostbolt Volley from an Archmage, they are slowed even while in the Dream. For this reason it's important to interrupt Frostbolt Volleys. Paladin and priest healers can quickly cleanse themselves, druid healers can shapeshift out of the effect - so make extra certain to interrupt if a shaman is going in. |
||
| − | === Alliance === |
||
| − | Although Brill is located deep within Horde territory, there is still the threat of occasional Alliance forces attacking from [[Silverpine Forest]] and the southern lands. This has increased after the removal of [[dishonorable kill]]s from the [[World PvP]] system, as formerly Brill would be avoided due to the huge amounts of [[civilian]]s present there. Now, however, there is little to stop willing raiding parties emerging from the south; provided they do not fear the inhabitants of the Undercity nearby. |
||
| + | ==Strategy== |
||
| − | {{Tirisfal Glades}} |
||
| + | Once the groups are all positioned properly, begin the fight by pulling the four Risen Archmages that are present in the room at start. They stand in a square shape around the boss on 25 player, or in a semi-circular shape between the boss and the raid on 10 player. These mobs should die quickly. |
||
| + | The healers assigned to Valithria should take a portal when they spawn, and aim to collect as many stacks as possible each time. DPS classes shouldn't need to take the portals, however having a couple of good DPS building stacks can make life easier later on when the adds start spawning a lot faster. |
||
| − | [[Category:Horde towns]] |
||
| − | [[Category:Forsaken territories]] |
||
| + | Near the end of the fight, when Valithria's health is already high, use Bloodlust/Heroism and don't enter the portals again. The proper moment for this has to be found out by experience. Assume a raid normally uses Bloodlust after the 6th portal phase and then wins after the 8th. That same raid would defeat her faster when they would use Bloodlust after the 7th portal phase, and not enter the 8th portals. |
||
| − | [[es:Brill]] |

| + | |||
| − | [[fr:Brill]] |
||
| + | ==Heroic Mode== |
||
| − | [[he:בריל]] |
||
| + | Although semantically very different, the actual encounter has only a few differences on Heroic mode. |
||
| + | |||
| + | * The Frostbolt Volley cast by the Risen Archmage now burns 2000 mana, meaning that interruptions become crucial to stop more mana-intensive classes from running out of mana. |
||
| + | * Valithria's health decays over time. While she still starts at half health and remains at the same max health as normal mode, the decay means more healing needed as the encounter goes on. |
||
| + | * Blistering Zombies run much faster than normal. |
||
| + | * Instead of opening portals into the Dream, portals instead open into the Nightmare. |
||
| + | ** Valithria does '''not''' announce these portals opening. |
||
| + | ** Players take damage while inside the Nightmare, and the orbs also apply a DoT in addition to their usual effects. |
||
| + | ** Orbs do not respawn in the Nightmare. |

Valithria Dreamwalker, a captured green dragon, is the first boss of the Frostwing Halls wing of the Icecrown Citadel raid. The fight ends when the raid has succeeded in healing Valithria up to 100%, while adds spawn in decreasing intervals. The fight is a chaotic battle for survival. The loss of a tank or a healer could easily result in a wipe.
This boss is available since February 2, 2010 on US servers and February 3 on EU servers.
Quests
Appearing as a high elf
After she is restored to her powerful self she often just disappears, unless the Icecrown Citadel weekly raid quest is Respite for a Tormented Soul. If it is she'll take the form of a high elf and explain a few things about Sindragosa to the players.

Suppressor
- Suppression (Channeled) 50,000 yd range — Reduces healing received by the target by 10%. Lasts until cancelled. Cast on Valithria.
Setup
Valithria starts at 50% health and the objective is to heal her up to full. Between half and two-thirds of the healers should concentrate on her, while the other healers keep the raid up. This usually translates to 1 Raid healer and 1-2 healers on Valithria (10 Man) or 2 raid healers and 3-4 healers on Valithria (25 Man).
Adds spawn from the gates. In 25 player, all four gates spawn adds, in 10 player it's only the front two. The spawn rate increases over time. After 7/? (10/25 player) minutes, Suppressors and Blazing Skeletons start to spawn continuously, which usually leads to a quick wipe.
A basic strategy is to loosely assign one group of tanks and damage dealers per add portal.
Positioning
10 Player
Since only the closest two gates spawn adds, the back half of the room can be ignored (except when dream portals are opened). One or two damage dealers should be assigned to deal with suppressors. Suppressors can spawn from either side or both at once and only have about 35,000 or so health. The tanks should stand in the middle between the two gates to handle any Archmage or Abomination that comes out. Valithria's healers should set up near her, but close enough so that the tanks can still see them in the event that something needs to be pulled off of them.
25 Player
The raid should split up into two groups, one positioned to the right of Valithria, the other to the left. Each group is responsible for the adds that spawn on their side, and should only take care of adds on the other side if all adds are dead on their side or they migrate over. Healers assigned to Valithria should stand in the middle of the room "within" Valithria, and only move to jump into portals. This forces the adds to move through the kill groups on either side of her and reduces the chance of migration and missed adds killing the healers. Follow the same kill priorities, and techniques as for 10 player.
Add portal groups
The add portal groups should use the following priority list:
- One raid member per portal focuses on Suppressors (Cat druids are quite effective).
- Everyone else kills Blazing Skeletons first.
- Zombies are kited by a predesignated ranged DPS.
- Archmages get tanked and taken out by melee.
- Abominations get tanked and taken out by ranged DPS.
Class Specific Tips
- Feral Druids are particularly effective against the Suppressors with Swipe (Cat).
- Paladins are good for tanking the Abominations, as
[Consecration] helps to gather up the worms that spawn, allowing casters to quickly AoE them down. 
[Crusader Aura] works inside the dream, increasing movement speed, making a vast difference on heroic modes. - A Shaman with Cleansing Totem can be useful for the Abomination tank.
- Death Knights are good for tanking the Archmages as Frostbolt Volley can be interrupted.
- Frost Mages with a non-rooting slowing Blizzard can use it to kite and help kill the rot worms.
- Hunters are useful against the Zombies, as they can use [Distracting Shot] to make sure the zombie initially heads to the hunter and then gain aggro normally through regular attacks as well as use Frost Traps and [Concussive Shot] to slow them down. Mages can use a slowing frostbolt to kite the Zombies.
- Any class that has a heal should heal Valithria whenever there is a break in the action for them. Every little bit helps. Even bandaging helps. Also, these classes should patch themselves up whenever possible to reduce the strain on the healers.
Dream Portals
Every 30 seconds, Valithria provides portals to the Dream. These portals initially appear as small green orbs on the floor even before they can be entered. The Valithria healers should move close to these orbs and enter the portals as soon as they appear. Only one person can use each portal.
The Dream is a version of the room where only Valithria, several green orbs, and the players who entered exist. The objective is to float through as many green orbs as possible. When a player touches an orb it explodes (no damage) and provides a stacking buff (Emerald Vigor), which increases mana regeneration and healing done. After a few seconds, the players automatically return from the Dream and rejoin the rest of the raid. Now they spam heal Valithria until the next portals spawn. As the portals spawn every 30 seconds, and Emerald Vigor's timer is 35 sec, it should never run out and stack sizes should gradually increase up to over 30 near the end of the fight.
Since Emerald Vigor also increases damage done, it may be possible to have DPS classes enter the portals. Preferably this should be a class with low ramp-up time, namely Warriors, Combat Rogues, Hunters, Shaman or any other class/spec that takes a short amount of time to do a large amount of damage.
The Dream can also be used to avoid getting killed before a wipe. With good timing and a little luck, it's possible to enter the dream and drop out only after combat has finished. After the end of combat there are a few short seconds to run out of the area before respawn.
If players stand in a Frostbolt Volley from an Archmage, they are slowed even while in the Dream. For this reason it's important to interrupt Frostbolt Volleys. Paladin and priest healers can quickly cleanse themselves, druid healers can shapeshift out of the effect - so make extra certain to interrupt if a shaman is going in.
Strategy
Once the groups are all positioned properly, begin the fight by pulling the four Risen Archmages that are present in the room at start. They stand in a square shape around the boss on 25 player, or in a semi-circular shape between the boss and the raid on 10 player. These mobs should die quickly.
The healers assigned to Valithria should take a portal when they spawn, and aim to collect as many stacks as possible each time. DPS classes shouldn't need to take the portals, however having a couple of good DPS building stacks can make life easier later on when the adds start spawning a lot faster.
Near the end of the fight, when Valithria's health is already high, use Bloodlust/Heroism and don't enter the portals again. The proper moment for this has to be found out by experience. Assume a raid normally uses Bloodlust after the 6th portal phase and then wins after the 8th. That same raid would defeat her faster when they would use Bloodlust after the 7th portal phase, and not enter the 8th portals.
Heroic Mode
Although semantically very different, the actual encounter has only a few differences on Heroic mode.
- The Frostbolt Volley cast by the Risen Archmage now burns 2000 mana, meaning that interruptions become crucial to stop more mana-intensive classes from running out of mana.
- Valithria's health decays over time. While she still starts at half health and remains at the same max health as normal mode, the decay means more healing needed as the encounter goes on.
- Blistering Zombies run much faster than normal.
- Instead of opening portals into the Dream, portals instead open into the Nightmare.
- Valithria does not announce these portals opening.
- Players take damage while inside the Nightmare, and the orbs also apply a DoT in addition to their usual effects.
- Orbs do not respawn in the Nightmare.
