First Ones
Here’s what you need to know about Encrypted – the new Shadowlands Mythic+ affix
The First Ones used Zereth Mortis as their staging ground to order and create the Shadowlands -- perhaps a bit like a programmer might create a new zone -- so it makes sense that the newest affix would be Encrypted in more ways than one.
Who are the First Ones, and what were they trying to accomplish?
With Shadowlands patch 9.2 and Zereth Mortis, we're left with the same question we've been asking since we first went to the Maw and used a First One's gateway to travel to Oribos -- namely, who the heck are the First Ones, where did they go, and what does any of this have to do with the Jailer and his plans for the Shadowlands?
