Shadowlands

Sometimes flying is never introduced to new zones but fortunately some zones, like Zereth Mortis in Shadowlands patch 9.2, allow your flying mounts to stretch their wings skyward.

Many Covenant abilities in Shadowlands have become iconic and gameplay-defining -- for instance, Convoke the Spirits for Night Fae Druids, Condemn for Fury Warriors, and Divine Toll for Paladins of all kinds.

We're getting a World of Warcraft expansion announcement on April 19.

Shadowlands patch 9.2 has been out for a few weeks now, and the Jailer faces his final defeat, yet the campaign in Zereth Mortis continues for the next few weeks, even though the reason we went there is ostensibly taken care of.

Patch 9.2's Zereth Mortis is a zone with the mysterious Cypher of the First ones we're slowly beginning to understand, and an accompanying, adorable companion, Pocopoc.

With the Sepulcher of the First Ones opening this week, patch 9.2 has been around long enough for folks to have formed opinions about it.

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.

With the opening of Shadowlands patch 9.2 raid the Sepulcher of the First Ones, a new World Boss has spawned in Zereth Mortis for players to kill -- and more importantly, loot.

The latest patch for World of Warcraft has almost arrived, and Shadowlands patch 9.2 is taking us to Zereth Mortis, the primal workshop for all of the Shadowlands.

I mean, there's no objective winner here -- for some folks, it will be the return of tier sets, while for others, it will be getting to explore the story and lore of Zereth Mortis, and for still others it will be the new legendaries that you can wear alongside an older one, giving you twice the legendaries.
