The patch advances Midnight’s lore through:
- Lorewalking with Assistant Lorewalker Lilely, focusing on Zandalari, Gurubashi, and Dark Spear trolls, expanding relevant Warcraft history and tribes.
- A new story mission chapter involving Zul’jan:

Key point

2) Core Weekly Outdoor Content: Heroic World Tier Zones
Locations (rotating)
- Two rotating locations connected to the Void Storm Portal:
- Veil (the Icy-touched Legion world)
- Nighthold (fungal, arcane-heavy world)
How it works
- Weekly rotation between the two zones
- Talk to Ma’aeha in Silvermoon City to unlock via a short quest chain
- Heroic world mode is available immediately from the start (unlike earlier requirements)
Loop: what to do inside
- Do available main story quests

Change

How Tier 6 works
