Aside from the battleground changes on the upcoming patch (Random Battleground Tool!), they're adding a final pre-4.0 raid or something on 3.3.x... And it's the Ruby Sanctum.

But out of the four aspect chambers, why Ruby?

Well the bronze ones might be evil. Because apparently they were the infinite dragonflight before they became bronze? or something

/loregasm

Little side note is: Titansteel bars no longer require CD's for mining! :O betta sell em while i got the chance, they probably gonna gfo cheap.

I feel like they haven't really been used for awhile anyway.

because a lot of the red aspect where tainted by deathwing after alexstraza goes missing pre-tbc.

A powerful war party of the Black Dragonflight, led by the fearsome Twilight dragon, Halion, have launched an assault upon the Ruby Sanctum beneath Wyrmrest Temple. By destroying the sanctum, the Black Dragonflight look to crush those that would stand in the way of their master’s reemergence into Azeroth and to ultimately shatter the Wyrmrest Accord – the sacred bond that unites the dragonflights.

The battle that is to come will surely deal a crippling blow to the Red Dragonflight, however, it is up to you to stop this unprecedented offensive and defend the Ruby Sanctum. First you must face the assault of Halion's servants, Saviana Ragefire, Baltharus the Warborn, and General Zarithrian, before squaring off against Halion the Twilight Destroyer, a new and deadly force in this realm.

The Ruby Sanctum will feature 10- and 25-player content, Heroic difficulties and all-new rewards! Stay tuned for more information as we get closer to its release.

I feel like they haven't really been used for awhile anyway.

I like it. The description posted on the forum makes it seem less like "Just another wrath raid" but more like a Cataclysm teaser.

So who's the big boss of Ruby Sanctum?

Infinite dragonflight ftw.

But it's about the black dragon flight, not the wacko's who force me to help Arthas purge Stratholme.

The lack of Chromie love is disturbing.

How do you guys feel about this?

I've discussed it with my guild and two main outcomes were shown.

1) WTF? This is Wrath of the Lich King! There is so much centered around the Lich King and his influence over the world. I say that if you want to release Ruby Sanctum, at least make it Mandatory to have downed LK or something. I know its sorta to do with Cataclysm, but do not want. Kinda throws away all the work i did for LK

2) This is pretty cool, i like the slide into Cataclysm. The fact that im not longer stuck at LK and we can move on to something more. I hope its fun and prepares me for Cataclysm

I'm personally somewhere in between the two.

I'm glad we are not stuck on LK, but its sad that he sorta gets forgotten.

ummm not really...its actually kinda the opposite...



so its kinda the opposite...its a preemptive strike to stop the red dragon flight from interfering with Deathwing...

During the Second War, Deathwing finally found a way to conquer his greatest rivals. Deathwing could not wield the Demon Soul but it could be placed in the hands of one that would further his agenda.[20] A orc shaman named Zuluhed the Whacked received strange visions of a powerful artifact deep within the earth and with Doomhammer's permission he took his clan to search for their source. Zuluhed came upon the Demon Soul and took it for the Horde, but while he sensed the disk had the power to raise mountains and evaporate oceans, it was unresponsive to his shamanistic powers. The device was passed down to his lieutenant: the warlock Nekros Skullcrusher, whose magic the disk eagerly reciprocated.[21] Zuluhed and his clan searched for weeks for the dragons, finally spoting a lone wounded red male. They followed the sole dragon back to the red dragonflight's lair, a high mountain peak, where they came upon the Dragonqueen Alexstrasza herself, roosting with three of her consorts. The red Aspect immediately incinerated four orc warriors but before she could do anything more Nekros invoked the dark powers of the disk and subdued her. The Dragonmaw Clan used the Demon Soul to enslave Alexstrasza and a large portion of her flight.[22]

From capture to escape, an eight year span, Alexstrasza was forced to create more dragons to service the Horde in the war, and she cried for the deaths of her children and the deaths they caused.[23] Two of her consorts did not survive long, one perishing while trying to escape over the sea and the other dying of injuries inflicted by Deathwing, while her fourth and youngest avoided capture altogether. This left Alexstrasza with only her prime consort, Tyranastrasz, to produce dragons with for the orcs. [24] She often tried to defy Nekros, but the act of breaking one or more eggs in her presence assured her good behavior. The red dragonflight, once one of the strongest and proudest flights of dragons ever seen, were reduced to little more than the Horde's dogs of war.[25] The Horde quickly learned how to utilize the great leviathans, and the under the command of the orcs they wreaked havoc and bloodshed throughout the lands of the Alliance,[26] committing destructive acts such as setting the forests of Quel'thalas ablaze with dragonfire, [27] and the complete and total destruction of the third fleet of Kul Tiras.[26] The Alliance responded against the orc enslaved dragons with dwarven Gryphon riders, the two often meeting in the dogfights over the fields of Lordaeron and Khaz Modan. Throughout most of the Second War, and even a few years after its end, the settlements of the Alliance lived in constant fear of coming under attack by red dragons.

The reds who had avoided capture by the orcs were initially bewildered to find their queen had gone missing. The flight scattered to search for her, becoming easy prey for the vicious Deathwing and his black dragonflight. Isolated, leaderless, and confused, the reds fought back as best they could. When the blacks had been sufficiently pushed back the reds resumed their search and found the orcs were responsible for Alexstrasza and the rest of the flight's disappearance.[2] Her youngest consort, Korialstrasz, disguised as the mage Krasus of the Kirin Tor, sought a way to free his mate.[28]

look mate it was late i tried to find the most relevent post without hours of searching lol i added the bit about grim batol cus i cba to go find it but regardles of what i post my point is the black dragons will go for the red dragons first they are the most closely connected, bronze are out with their own problems, blues are far from able to fight right now after malys death, green are fighting in the dream world red are the only ones who are a threat they also have a grudge with the blacks they dam near hunted them to near extiniction
