Blackfathom Deeps is a partially sunken former temple to the moon goddess Elune that was once known as Lathar'Lazal. It was thought to have been destroyed during the Sundering, and lost beneath the ocean. Millennia later, members of the Twilight's Hammer cult were drawn by whispers and foul dreams to what is now a series of watery caverns located beneath Ashenvale, near the ancient night elven city of Zoram.

After sacrificing untold numbers of innocents, the cult was rewarded with a new task: to protect one of the Old Gods' most cherished creatures, a pet that was in need of nurturing before it could unleash his dark powers on the world: the monstrous hydra Aku'mai.

For the Season of Discovery, it was revamped as a 10 player raid instance at the phase 1 level cap of 25. It has a 3-day lockout on loot. Among the differences with the original game, is that Argent Guard Thaelrid can repair gear, and an Altar of Teleportation was added to let players teleport between the entrance, the Shrine of Gelihast and the Moonshrine Ruins.
