However, central to this patch will be a new quest in which players must take down an evil being known as Illidan, who resides in a place called "The Black Temple".
Apart from this new plot arc, this patch also introduces the new land of Skettis, but this area will be available only to those in possession of a flying mount. Meanwhile, those in the market for a new flying mount need look no further than the Nether Drake, a "special 280% speed epic flying mount" that can be obtained by continuing the Netherwing faction and quest line in either solo or small-group play.
Also included in the new patch are a new batch of quests that will take place in Ethereum Prison and Ogri'la, as well as the opening of a new arena nestled in the Ruins of Lordaeron.
