Death's Door

Death's Door[64, 64] is located between Jagged Ridge to the west and Vekhaar Stand to the east in southeastern Blade's Edge Mountains. It is the location of one of the dimensional gateways which the Burning Legion used to bring demons from the Twisting Nether.

Illidan Stormrage, during his rule over the Black Temple, sent his forces to close other portals in Outland, which cut off the flow of demons and ended the extra stresses on the planet's remnants,[1] but this gateway is still partially functional, slowly bringing in Wrath Hound (hound-like demons) reinforcements for the Legion. The region is guarded by the demonic agents of the Burning Legion, including beholders and an eredar Houndmaster responsible for bringing the reinforcements through the gateway. The gateway is only functional due to Baelmon the Hound-Master who uses his own magic to power it. But still, it is partially functional as the Houndmaster can only draw out the Wrath Hound's soul and needs one of the Legion's gates, the materialization chamber, to teleport the corporeal body and infuse it with the owner's soul.

The Wrath Hounds are then teleported to one of the Forge Camps in Blade's Edge Mountains.

A quest chain starting in Evergrove sends players to this area to stop the flow of reinforcements.

History

It could be inferred from Death's Door valley's unusual size and location that it was originally a volcanic crater. It was during the Second War that the Dark Portal was constructed as part of Ner'zhul's plan to conquer other worlds. After the destruction of Draenor, Illidan Stormrage with the help of Kael'thas and Lady Vashj shut down the active portal. Sometime during the events of the first World of Warcraft, the portal was partially reactivated by the Burning Legion.

Baelmon's quotes

  • "Make your way into the materialization chamber!" (to the summoned Wrath Hound)
  • "Now, go to the translocator. Forge Camp: Wrath awaits your arrival!" (to the summoned Wrath Hound)
