Changes: Darkwhisper Gorge

Revision as of 11:29, 18 January 2009

Darkwhisper Gorge ^[60, 75] VZ-Winterspring is an area in the far south of Winterspring which consists of a network of tunnels and chasms. This area is inhabited by elite demons of an approximate five-man difficulty, although easily solable by a level 70.

This treacherous cavern lies along Winterspring Valley's southern slope. Poisonous green vapours bubble out of acid pools deep within the bottom of the gorge. Malevolent sounds echo from a cave at the furthest end of the gorge, leading some night elves to believe that demons may have taken refuge in the toxic depths.Template:Cite

The demons in this area are important to a number of quests, unlike their Blasted Lands counterparts. The terrain is considerably grim and foreboding - the presence of poisonous green vapors bubbling from acid pools in the bottom of the gorge is warning enough to many travellers to keep out. Despite the hazards, this area possess several valuable resources, including rich thorium veins.

Notably, the Hederine demons which inhabit this area drop [Tears of the Hederine], a quest item for the warlock quest The Prison's Casing, the second quest in the chain which leads to the acquisition of the doomguard.

Also, the Hederine Slayers and the Hederine Initiates have a very small chance (0.5%) to drop [The Eye of Shadow], a quest item in the epic priest quest to obtain [Benediction].

An imp, Vi'el, lives in a cave in the Gorge. Among other “exotic reagents", he sells several items of particular note:

[Gromsblood] (3-5) 10
[Felcloth] (1) 80
[Fel Elemental Rod] 40 (Required for the Dungeon Set 2 upgrade quest)

"Unused Instance Portal" - An instance portal with a runed gate exists in the lower part of the Gorge. It can be found
