Let’s dive in, as Season 1 starts on March 17th.
Enter Voidspire in Voidstorm, Dreamrift in Harandar, and March on Quel’Danas in Eversong Woods, undertake Mythic dungeons, face new world bosses, engage in PvP, and more during the first season of Midnight.

- Lu’ashal (Eversong Woods): While the Lighbloom in Eversong has devastated much of the wildlife, a few creatures have instead been strengthened by its power. Lu’ashal has grown to gargantuan size from the surging Holy energy and is now as dangerous as it is beautiful.
- Thorm’Belan (Harandar): Once a docile creature known to roam Harandar’s southern wilds, Thorm’belan was forever changed when it became afflicted by The Lightbloom. The enraged beast must now be killed before it runs rampant across the surrounding wetlands.
- Predaxas (Voidstorm): Glutted on the writhing Voidstorm’s spawn, Predaxas stalks the wilds hunting for prey. It does not rest, it does not reason, it devours with a hunger as insatiable as the dark.
- Cragpine (Zul’Aman): Ancient as the cliffs themselves, Cragpine has slumbered for centuries beneath a canopy of towering pines. Now stirred by the careless intrusion of mortals, he rises to defend his glade, bending the forest itself to his will.
