A call to arms has been issued for the armies of Azeroth once more. Join the few ethereals who exist beyond the shattered realm of K'aresh on a journey to restore their home world as the Void Lords prepare to weaponize the world soul to use against a fragile Azerothian world soul. LET 'EM IN

Introduction

Summons to the Twisting Nether

Our journey to the Shadowlands took us to lands of incomprehensible beauty and devastation, and the ethereals' plea has done exactly the same. When we return from the Shadowlands, we find ourselves on an Azeroth recovering from the Fourth War, prepared to celebrate our accomplishments against Sylvanas and the Jailer. This celebration is short-lived, however, as the ethereals on Azeroth have brought it to the leaders' attention that the world soul is in danger once more.

While away,

Pre-Patch Features

Venture into K'aresh's past to the province of Myr'daal, a militarized city in the middle of K'aresh's eastern ocean, and will also serve as the starting zone for ethereals and Astromancers.

Voyage to K'aresh Features

  • K'aresh, a Shattered World: As you venture to the broken world of K'aresh, explore 6 new leveling zones, a PvP zone, an expansive max-level zone, the ethereal starting zone, as well as the capital city of T'uura.
  • New Dungeons and Raids: Learn about K'aresh's past, fight back the void, and quell local threats in 14 new dungeons and 3 new raids upon release.
  • New System - Spiritual Ascension: Players will be able to engage in a new system called Spiritual Ascension. This system isn't meant to be gimmicky, but rather exists as a core part of experiencing all there is two explore in K'aresh.
  • New Neutral Race - Ethereals: Our adventures throughout K'aresh have garnered the attention of the ethereals who still seek to salvage their world. Become an ethereal and join the ranks of either the Alliance or the Horde, fighting to save both your own world soul, as well as the world soul of Azeroth.
  • New Hero Class - Astromancer: The Astromancers are an elite group of ethereals who've harnessed the power of the stars to deal devastating damage, heal their enemies or protect their allies. As the mortal races of Azeroth find themselves on K'aresh, they too will be able to pursue the art of becoming an Astromancer.
  • Class Changes: Voyage to K'aresh is receiving several major class changes. To stay true to what Blizzard would probably do regarding classes, we'll be keeping the global cooldown on certain abilities, but we'll be taking it off of abilities where it makes sense to do so.
  • Factions and Reputation Changes: The factions of K'aresh all need your help.
  • Mount Species and Upgrades:
  • Guild Halls and Progression:
  • Forms of Transportation:
  • Updated Pet Battle System:

New World: K'aresh

The shattered plains of M'aradel remain green, with ancient abandoned technological feats strewn throughout the entire zone.

The shattered world of K'aresh sits over an unending Twisting Nether. Though regions have been preserved, their physical landscapes have not, leading to the world becoming a mass of floating islands. Unbeknownst to those who had not been to K'aresh since its destruction, its denizens have adapted to its new geography, with ephemeral technological feats and beautiful features existing in all directions.

Patch 10.0

  • Neutral [1-10] Myr'daal: Myr'daal is where many ethereals who've aspired to join the fight against the void lords have gone to train. Far out from any other regions in the autonomous zones of K'aresh, Myr'daal is filled with feats of technology, great dangers, as well as a shattered railway whose existence will certainly be visited later on.
  • Neutral [60-62] M'aradel: M'aradel is the first zone that players will find themselves in while on K'aresh. After the Vindicaar crashes into M'aradel, players will be unsure where they are, with a pine plateau with strange ruins surrounded by mountains. An opening reveals endless plains, with abandoned buildings, rails, a giant, dormant mechanical beast at its center, and mountains in the far distance.
Nintendo fans might be very familiar with Eterre. Its dependence on water is based heavily on Zora's Domain from Breath of the Wild.
  • Neutral [62-64] Eterre: Eterre is very different from the rest of K'aresh. Initially, before the destruction of the planet, the thin valley of Eterre served as a gateway between the lost continent of Baj'dari and K'aresh, and sat on the edge of an ocean. Upon the destruction of the planet, Eterre merged with K'aresh. The valley still relies very heavily on the plentiful water sources throughout, but the water spirit has gone dormant. The water spirit, Bajda, went into an eternal slumber (along with the other Spiritwalkers of K'aresh) when the world soul was exposed at the planet's center. The clans of Eterre have fallen into conflict due to this, and it's your job to end this conflict.
Endless clouds surround the ruins of eastern Stelaara. A wind fish can be seen in the background.
  • Neutral [62-64] Twili'kar: Twili'kar is a forested region in southern K'aresh filled with gulches connected by roots, green (purified) and purple (void-corrupted) woodlands, all filled with an unusual and overwhelming beauty. Near the southern portion of the zone, a large tree known as Trava'kar exists, which holds the zone's biggest village: Trava.
  • Neutral [64-66] Ethereum Peaks: In the very northern part of K'aresh, there exists a large mountain region known as the Ethereum Peaks. Prior to the destruction of the planet, many large fortresses were constructed here, and served as a place of study and military strength for the ethereals. Now, the planet's destruction has led to stronger winds, leaving the Ethereum Peaks in a state of constant snowfall. Few remain, with small villages and cartels who've made the zone their home, connecting themselves to a single central pillar on which the Dakaara Bazaar sits. An anonymous group plots to destroy the royal capital using Dakaar's power. You must work with the royal capital to find their secret underground base beneath the Dakaara Bazaar, and dismantle the cannon empowered by Dakaar himself.
  • Neutral [66-68] A'dali Dunes: Some might find deserts empty and lonely, but the A'dali Dunes are filled with relics of the past, ethereal cartels, and serves as the major base of operations for sky pirates. On the surface, the Dune-Wardens who protect temples from looters surf across the desert using sand-surfing techniques that they're willing to teach you.
  • Neutral [68-70] Jzea Nuur: Surrounded by the towering Ethereum Peaks and the edge of Eterre, Jzea Nuur is the lowest location in all of K'aresh. Between the arching stones of this fascinating region, ruins of manors and villages sit. On the ground, an autumnal forest hides grand technological feats of the ethereals' past, including Devuun Tal, which serves as a trial for aspiring Nexus-Kings. Wandering nomads and traders from cartels who've been cast out can also be found here.
  • Neutral [70] Stelaara: Stelaara is a max-level zone akin to Suramar, and is where players will find much of the end-game story content taking place. Stelaara is an ephemeral zone of endless temples, structures and bridges surrounded by clouds, where the extremely dangerous wind fish fly. It is also home to the royal capital of K'aresh, Nexdara. As you journey through temples and work your way towards the world soul of K'aresh at the zone's core, you'll come to learn the true goal of K'aresh's royal family.
  • Neutral [PvP] Vuush A'mal: Vuush A'mal is a smaller zone comprised of chunks of the Great Ethereum Wall, which separates the northern continent from the rest of K'aresh. Vuush A'mal was once the military center of K'aresh, hence making it one of the first locations to fall to the void lords. A battle is being fought to this day between the spirits of the void lords and the ethereals who sought to defend against the atrocities of the void, which can be experienced in The Eternal Siege raid.

Patch 10.2

  • Neutral [70] T'uura, Temple of Ages: The barrier of time has been shattered, and a gaping portal of indescribable beauty sits as a gate in the sky above T'uura, the City of Thieves. Taking a Wind Fish Skyboat into this strange tear in the sky reveals K'aresh in its distant past, prior to its destruction. A much larger T'uura sits at the center, with painted landscapes (much like the skyboxes in the zones of Argus) of the plains of M'aradel, an ocean to the east, Nexdara in the distance, as well as the endless woodlands of Twili'kar. In the past, T'uura is a temple that serves as a gate between timelines, and you must stop the void's siege on the Tree of Ages at its peak.

Patch 10.3

  • Neutral [70] Vishj'ar Kabal:

New Capital City: T'uura, City of Thieves

Background

T'uura, City of Thieves, often just referred to as T'uura by the natives of K'aresh, is a city that serves as the major gateway of trade between M'aradel, Twili'kar, Stelaara and Eterre. As you venture further into K'aresh and assist ethereal royalty and retrieve the souls of the Spiritwalkers of K'aresh, you'll come to find that T'uura serves as a great base of operations, allowing you to unlock several services that can increase your efficiency while traveling across the shattered planet.

Shops and Services

The city has a circular shape with four different levels of height. The first level is dedicated to general services, professions, residential quarters and shops. The second level serves as a location for more residencies, embassies for the Alliance, Horde, general factions, as well as guild services. The third level hosts banks, the auction house, and a living quarter for nobility. The fourth and final level is where the Tree of Ages is located, alongside several other end-game systems.

Class Instruments

Spiritual Infusion in Dungeons and Raids

Players can choose to enable a difficulty called Spiritual Infusion that allows them to empower bosses and creatures within dungeons and raids, making them stronger. As a result, gear drops will be guaranteed to have sockets on them.

New Neutral Race: Ethereals

Customization Options

Ethereals can choose from several

Classes

  • Astromancer: Ethereals are the first-known mortal users of astral magic, and have been able to wield it in potent ways.
  • Hunter: The beasts of K'aresh have proved powerful in battle, as have the technological feats of the ethereals. As such, they make natural hunters.
  • Mage: Ethereals have proven that they can tap into the mana-filled energies of the Twisting Nether through their use of astral magic. They can use these abilities to call upon frost, fire and arcane magics.
  • Monk: Ethereals are a very versatile race, and are able to do much in the forms they've found themselves in now.
  • Priest: Prior to the destruction of their planet, many ethereals worshipped the light, and there were some who dabbled in the void (like Locus-Walker). These priests found themselves in unique situations as a result.
  • Rogue: Ever since K'aresh was destroyed, many ethereals have joined cartels, sky fleets or have been forced to fend for themselves. Several of the ethereals who find themselves in this situation ended up using rogue-like tactics to ensure their survival.
  • Shaman: Just as they can call upon the stars to bring about the wrath of arcanic energies, so too can ethereals call upon earthen energies to defeat their enemies and protect their allies.
  • Warlock: Though the ethereals ended up repelling the Burning Legion and would have their planet destroyed by the void lords as a result, some ethereals chose to learn the demonic ways of the Legion. Some continue to study demons to this day due to demonic tomes left behind hundreds of years ago.
  • Warrior: Many who reside in Stelaara must protect the royal capital, and have taken up arms to do so as argent protectors. To this day, ethereal techniques are still applied in swordsmanship.

Racial Abilities

  • [Ancient Mummification]: Use the infinite wraps to bind your enemies, slowing them for 5 seconds and dealing arcane damage. This ability has a 2 minute cooldown.
  • [A Foreseen Mutually Beneficial Transaction]: Ethereals get a 10% discount on all items on top of reputation discounts, and receive 10% more gold from all sources.
  • [Promised Power]: Fire damage taken is reduced by 1%.
  • [Tacticians]: Each piece of gear that you wield has an extra 1% critical strike value added to it.
  • [Traders of Time]: Your profession skill gains are increased by 75%.

An ethereal Astromancer wielding conduits, an item often used by the class.

Astromancers are a new hero class coming in World of Warcraft: Voyage to K'aresh. They are the first class to be introduced in an expansion that uses mail armor.

Specializations

Astromancers will be able to choose from three specializations, like most other classes. In tandem with the Shadowlands expansion's goal to streamline classes, each Astromancer specialization focuses on a unique type of astral magic use, while allowing the class as a whole to dabble in each specialization's abilities.

  • Healer icon.png Chromatic Astromancers: Chromatic Astromancers are able to tap into the time-based magic within astral magic created by the Titans to turn back time on allies' wounds, as well as to buff allies with time-based buffs.
  • Dps icon.png Steedbound Astromancers: Steedbound Astromancers incorporate their mount into combat. Astromancers can choose one of their mounts from their collection to become their companion in battle (can be changed at any time, and that mount will take the form of , and will wield a rapier or one-handed sword to fight their enemies.
  • Dps icon.png Stavemaster Astromancers: Stavemaster Astromancers are a class that uses sacred astral-forged staves to create magic circles and summon powerful astral spells.

Horde Astromancers Horde 64.png

  • TrollTroll Troll: The trolls are one of Azeroth's oldest races, and have been connected to the world soul for a very long time. As such, they're able to draw from the celestial magic that's being emitted from Azeroth, wielding powerful astral magic against enemies.

As such, the Mag'har are able to connect with the stars to produce astral magic.
  • Zandalari trollZandalari troll Zandalari troll: Just like their other troll brethren, the Zandalari have been connected to the world soul for a very long time. As such, they're able to draw from the celestial magic that's being emitted from Azeroth, wielding powerful astral magic against enemies.
