WoW's Hidden Treasures: Grim Batol I

by Administrator | post a comment

Here and there around Azeroth, there are places you may have stumbled upon at tender levels, where you suffered a swift and shocking death. This was due to the mass of level 58 elites that converged on you when you poked your curious nose into their zone. This has happened to me a few times, and hopefully you were enjoying your game enough for it to happen to you too! Once I reached level cap, it occurred to me (after I stopped dancing and got a little bored with heroics) to go back and do the exploring I'd wanted to do before, while getting a bit of one-shot revenge.

One such place is the elusive Grim Batol, tucked deep into a dragonkin guarded area of the Wetlands. It certainly wouldn't be an easy place to find at the zone's natural questing level. Once you hit the first Red Wyrmkin, it is rather a long walk to pass through the five ominous sets of Dragonmaw Gates, and the increasingly fearsome Wyrmkin to actually reach the door of Grim Batol. The way is littered with broken siege engines and the bones of huge dragons one does not normally encounter in Eastern Kingdoms. After passing through the final gate, protected by Scalebane Royal Guard, another broken siege vehicle on a small hill points the way to the entrance of Grim Batol.

Considering the carnage you are leaving behind you, at this point you are expecting anything, anything but¡­a deserted moss covered door that won't open?! No guards in sight, no sad, lonely dwarf sitting by a fire waiting to tell you the story of this ruin. There are only the flags of the dragonkin that seem to hold the fortress, and the bones and broken weapons of would-be raiders on the steps.
