The March of the Makers is a Titan/Celestial themed raid that contains the greatest of the Titan's creations.

Background

Azeroth's greatest test has been summoned upon them: The March of the Titans begins and they will seize control of their formerly abandoned facilities. With two massive strongholds centered on both continents, the Titans prepare to reclaim what old fortresses they've abandoned and reprogram them for the Pantheon. With the titans making a move on reclaiming what's theirs, they threaten the safety of of Azeroth's denizens. The defenders of Azeroth must rise to challenge proposed to them by the Titans by protecting their home from its very creators.

Bosses

The bosses of this raid are great in number, split across several sections of increasing difficulty. There is an even number of bosses within both strongholds.

Olympaar Entryway

The first of two titanic strongholds swiftly created by the Titans, Olympaar stands firmly unchallenged, titanic minions and their lords traversing between portals to import equipment from the Pantheon.

• War Machine Magnitus - Carefully constructed by the forge lords of the Olympaar fortress, Magnitus bears the strength of a thousand iron golems and has the magnetizing power to strip his enemies of their armor before delivering crushing blows. Those wishing to go up against this automaton must approach with care lest they join the fallen in decorating the floors with their innards.

• Gaardias the Ancient - Walking the titanic halls of Olympaar, the mighty Gaardias powers the energy coursing through the stronghold. A being of nearly limitless power, this keeper watches over the activities of the factory, ensuring the work goes as scheduled.

• Ironus - Atop the highest of terraces in Olympaar, a mighty creature forged from the Iron stones found throughout the facility makes the Iron perch its home. Combat against this beast is seemingly futile as the massive plating protects it from harm. Potential enemies must find a way of burning the armor off to expose the beast's vulnerability within.

Titanic Research Halls

Deep within Olympaar, titanic beings research celestial data and uses that information to forge programs and projects.

• Phaestion the Inferno - Within the Research Halls of Olympaar, the leader of the titanic researchers is Phaestion. This fire-eyed titan experiments with several programs, using specially programmed constructs to do battle with one another to test the overall effectiveness of the program. His current project, Program Archaic, consists of powerful constructs created to guard the strongholds. If engaged in combat, he will unleash his most devastating Program on the unfortunate victims.

• Wind Sage Cumulon - The mighty Cumulon, created from Program Archaic, controls the very power of air and is capable of generating deadly winds that possess the ability to blow victims away with fatal speed. He controls the Windfury Terrace and powers the Titanic Storm Generator which fuels his power. If those who challenge him find a way to use his generator against him, victory may be assured.

• Odionis the Destroyer - Within the inner sanctum of Olympaar, a powerful warrior lies chained, bound by eternal storms. This massive giant lies bound in a prison, forced to suffer for endless days due to his "betrayal" of the Titans and failure to follow the Pantheon code.

Meythalos Entryway

The other titanic stronghold, Meythalos bristles with energy from across the planes. The strongest of these beings reside within this facility, preparing more fiercely for the Pantheon's cosmic return to test Azeroth.

• Boilirus the Tempered - A fire giant who burns with intensity, Boilirus has been assigned with creating tempered weapons and armor for his allies. Working near the slag pots and lava forges has burn away his tolerance for failures and intruders.

• Prismus - One of the more stronger creations from Program Archaic, Prismus's power has an unknown capacity. Due to his unlimited power, Prismus lords over the other creations from Program Archaic. Secluded within his own chamber due to the vastness of his energy, this celestial being exercises his powers to the limit, threatening his very "allies" with destruction should his power increase.

• Cosmic Lord Nephthamos - Leader of the Cosmic Soldiers, Nephthamos forged the Celestial Arena using blueprints from his Titanic overlords. Whenever he engages enemies in battle, his celestial powers sends him and his enemies into a different dimension, ensuring they never return.

Spire of Celestial Ascent

Cosmic energies mystically alter the inner appearance of the Meythalos Stronghold. A celestial spire materializes that leads into the vastness of the Twisting Nether. This allows the Pantheon to transport equipment back and forth.

• Astral Walker Maraabus - A rare occasion, this ethereal seems to have sided with the Titans and their creations in turn for fortune he never could have: Maraabus has been fused with celestial power to sate his natural need for self-profit. Named the Astral Walker, Maraabus looks to search for more sources of celestial power throughout the Stronghold, eager to feed on whatever energies he can find.

• Galaxon of the Black Hole - Where there is celestial energy, there is darkness to consume it. Galaxon has been naturally drawn to the cosmic powers of the Astral Spire and seeks to claim its vastness for himself. If left unchecked, this behemoth may grow to an incredible size.

• Program Celestos - The strongest Program created by the Pantheon for the defense of the strongholds, this program contains the deadliest of creatures all under the titanic watch of Promethion. Watching over the Program until the time is right, Promethion waits for eventual intruders, believing Azeroth's defenders will soon come to her aid and attempt to drive back any threat to their home, including those of Azeroth's creators.
