Gather your allies and prepare to explore the hidden secrets of the elusive Mogu empire in the Mogu’shan Vaults—available globally on July 31 at 3:00 pm PDT.

The mogu, proud of their supremacy, kept lengthy records of their accomplishments within a great complex of vaults. The construction of these vast chambers predate any pandaren written records, shrouding their depths in mystery. Rumors once circulated of a mighty army locked within; for this reason, the vaults were the first target of the ancient pandaren rebellion, and they have been sealed ever since the mogu empire was overthrown.

Where: Kun Lai Summit
Level: 90
Difficulties: (10) Normal and Heroic, (25) Normal and Heroic
