Antorus

The seat of the Burning Legion's power in the cosmos. It is from this dread fortress that the Legion's most valued commanders direct the Burning Crusade in their cosmos-spanning war. Located within the Antoran Wastes on what remains of Argus, the fortress itself is inviolate. Using the Vindicaar's cannon, the Army of the Light was able to create a side entrance into the fortress. It is from this breach that they lay siege to the Legion's most sacred bastion.

Deep below the fortress itself lies the Burning Throne, hiding the Dark Titan's most precious secret - the souls of the fallen Titan Pantheon, being twisted into servants of Sargeras.

Overview

Antorus is a raid designed for 4-5 characters at 20th level. It can be inserted into any campaign, but is intended to be completed as the culmination of a Legion-focused campaign.

In this raid, the adventurers assault the Burning Legion's seat of power alongside High Exarch Turalyon, Alleria Windrunner, Prophet Velen, Magni Bronzebeard, Illidan Stormrage, and the Army of the Light. Mounting a two-pronged attack at both the main gate and Light's Breach, the Army of the Light allows the adventurers to make a daring strike at the fortress's heart using the Vindicaar.

Once the Legion's subcommanders have been dealt with, the Vindicaar trasnports the adventurers first to the Hallowed Felworks, and second to the Burning Throne, where the Legion's most valued leaders reside.

And in the depths of the Burning Throne, the worldsoul of Argus awaits...

Prologue

Long ago, the Dark Titan Sargeras sought out the world of Argus, and its eredar inhabitants, as generals to command his Burning Legion. There, he discovered an unexpected development - Argus housed a titan worldsoul beneath its crust. Long had Sargeras desired to snuff out Azeroth, and he would - but Argus was too good of an opportunity to ignore. Once the eredar had joined his Legion, Sargeras set to work breaking the titan, bending it to his will. Millenia later, even when the planet Argus had been reduced to a fel-wracked ruin, its worldsoul endured, now hastening the regeneration of all demons sent to the Twisting Nether.

Atop the surface of Argus lies Antorus, the Burning Throne, the Legion's greatest bastion of power. Long has the Army of the Light sought to breach this fortress and end the Burning Crusade - and after a thousand years of war, an opportunity arose. Along with the heroes of Azeroth and the draenei ship Vindicaar, the Army of the Light broke through the defenses of Antorus. The last battle for Argus had begun.

1. Light's Breach

Thanks to the capabilities of the Vindicaar, the Army of the Light was able to create a second entrance to Antorus, just south of its main gate. The army set up a base camp in the area just outside the breach, but the bulk of its forces have been directed elsewhere, currently battling demons.

1A. Lightforged Staging Area

The breach opens into a circular platform, where Army of the Light forces under High Exarch Turalyon have set up camp. Turalyon tasks the heroes with pushing further into the fortress and taking out any notable Legion generals, taking care to mention the camp near the Vindicaar (see the Broken Cliffs) if the heroes need respite. A steel bridge crosses a river of fel sludge towards area 1B directly ahead.

Lightforged forces here can spare healing for the heroes, if necessary. Two Lightforged draenei priests can each cast cure wounds at 3rd level (Wisdom of 16) twice before needing to save the rest for healing any wounded Lightforged.

1B. Legion's Bulwark

Rising from an outcropping above a fel river is a steel tower, atop which stands a group of demons. Beyond the tower and across the river lies the main causeway of Antorus. Buildings swarm with demons as Lightforged warframes assault them. To the left, another steel bridge leads towards a platform overlooking a cliff. Roll from this section's Random Encounter Table to determine the monsters here.

The creatures within the fortress beyond are not covered in the scope of this adventure. It is assumed that the Lightforged army takes care of these demons during the course of the party's siege of the Burning Throne.

2 1 Hulking Demolisher, 2 Antoran Champions
3 4 Antoran Felguards
4 1 Garothi Reaver, 1 Hulking Demolisher

1C. Descent

The bridge leads to another platform, this one overlooking a stone outcropping above a cliff. Beyond the outcropping lies a path that leads over a chasm leading down towards the core of the broken world. Flying demons battle Lightforged in the skies above. A group of demons guards this platform as well - roll on the Legion's Bulwark Random Encounter Table to determine this group of demons.

There are no stairs leading down to the Edge of Discord. It is a 20-foot drop to area 2A from the edge of the platform, and at least an 80-foot drop or more to any cliffs beyond that area.

2. Edge of Discord

Perched above one of the great chasms that descends into the core of Argus, the Edge of Discord is a transitory space between the satellite fortress breached by the Army of the Light and the heart of the Legion's power. Kin'garoth, recognizing the Army of the Light's arrival, sends one of his greatest creations to stop them.

2A. Worldbreaker's Chasm

This small outcropping of rock overlooks cliffs nearly 100 feet below it. A small pool of fel sludge lies in the back. A creature that touches this sludge takes 21 (6d6) fire damage.

LEGION | RAIDS | ANTORUS, THE BURNING THRONE

A path to the left ends in a bridge crossing the chasm towards the Den of the Devourers. When the party arrives in the area, the Garothi Worldbreaker rises to assault them.

Garothi Worldbreaker

"Enemy combatants detected. Threat level nominal."

Constructed deep within the core of Argus and outfitted with an arsenal to decimate worlds, this war machine has been designed to bring the Army of Light to its knees.

The Garothi Worldbreaker stands just adjacent to the left cliff face (just to the left of 2A on the map). It is immobile, but can still fire its cannons at the party.

When the Worldbreaker is defeated, the party may loot the Prototype Personnel Decimator.

2B. Bridge

This bridge extends 150 feet across a giant crack in the world. Beyond the bridge lies the entrance to the Den of the Devourers. A circular section in the middle of the bridge holds a group of demons - roll from this sections' Random Encounter Table to determine the composition of that group.

Haywire. When both of the worldbreaker's cannons are destroyed, it goes haywire. It can make an additional two slam attacks when it uses Multiattack, but attack rolls against it have advantage. Additionally, the cost of its Eradication legendary action is reduced to 2 actions.

Legendary Resistance (3/Day). If the worldbreaker fails a saving throw, it can choose to succeed instead.

Magic Resistance. The worldbreaker has advantage on saving throws against spells and other magical effects.

Magic Weapons. The worldbreaker's weapon attacks are magical.

Worldbreaker Cannons. The worldbreaker holds an Annihilator Cannon and a Decimator Cannon on its shoulders. A cannon can be targeted and destroyed individually (AC 18, 95 HP, same resistances and immunities as the worldbreaker) to stop the worldbreaker from being able to use certain abilities.
    While the worldbreaker holds the Annihilator Cannon, it can use its Annihilation action. While it holds its Decimator Cannon, it can use its Decimation action. Destroying both cannons denies it the use of its Searing Barrage ability as well.

Actions

Multiattack. The worldbreaker makes two slam attacks and can use Searing Barrage if it has cannons remaining; or makes four slam attacks if it is going haywire.

Slam. Melee Weapon Attack: +15 to hit, reach 20 ft., one target. Hit: 33 (4d12 + 7) bludgeoning damage.

Searing Barrage. The worldbreaker fires its cannon at a target within 65 feet of it. All creatures in a 10-foot-wide line between the worldbreaker and its target, including the target, must make a DC 21 Dexterity saving throw, taking 28 (8d6) fire damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.

Decimation (Recharge 4-6). The worldbreaker fires decimation missiles at a creature it can see within 100 feet of it. That creature, and all other creatures within 20 feet of that creature, must make a DC 21 Dexterity saving throw, taking 55 (10d10) fire damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.

Annihilation (Recharge 4-6). The worldbreaker fires annihilation missiles at three creatures it can see within 100 feet of it. Those creatures must make a DC 21 Dexterity saving throw, taking 38 (7d10) fire damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.

Legendary Actions

The worldbreaker can take 3 legendary actions, choosing from the options below. Only one legendary action option can be used at a time and only at the end of another creature's turn. The worldbreaker regains spent legendary actions at the start of its turn.

  • Recalibrate. The worldbreaker attempts to recharge either its Annihilate or Decimate ability.
  • Slam. The worldbreaker makes a slam attack.
  • Rain Fire (Costs 2 Actions). The worldbreaker uses its Searing Barrage action.
  • Eradication (Costs 3 Actions, 2 while Haywire). The worldbreaker rears up and strikes the ground with both fists, releasing a blast of fel energy. Each creature within 15 feet of the worldbreaker must make a DC 21 Dexterity saving throw, taking 33 (6d10) fire damage on a failed save, or half damage on a successful one.

2C. Den Approach

The bridge ends in a small rocky outcropping shielded from the main battles of the siege of Antorus. To the left lies the Den of the Devourers, home to Sargeras' prized felhounds. A group of demons guards this area. Roll from the Bridge's Random Encounter Table to determine the composition of that group.

3. Den of the Devourers

Off to the side of the main area of Antorus, the Den of the Devourers is where the Legion's beasts make their homes. Corralled by merciless beastlords, vile fiends prowl the majority of this area. Sargeras' pet felhounds, F'harg and Shatug, make their lair here.

3A. Den Entrance

The stench of decay lingers in this large, open cavern. Bones that have been picked clean litter the ground, and bits of acidic spittle coat each surface. Pools of fel sludge lie in places on the ground.

A creature that touches the fel sludge takes 21 (6d6) fire damage. A path to the south leads to the Broken Cliffs, where a group of Lightforged have set up camp under the protection of the Vindicaar. The path to the north splits off into two directions, each leading to an important area of Antorus.

Six slobbering fiends inhabit this area. Four are currently resting on the ground, while two hang from the ceiling and drop on unsuspecting heroes when combat begins.

3B. Devourers' Lair

This large chamber houses the two Felhounds of Sargeras, F'harg and Shatug. Pools of fel sludge like those found in the rest of the den lie in places in this arena. Beyond the cliff face in the back of the room lies the seemingly impenetrable Halls of the Boundless Reach.

Felhounds of Sargeras

Infused with fire and shadow, F'harg and Shatug are the prized pets of Sargeras. Bred for carnage, these hounds delight in eviscerating their master's enemies. With the Army of Light and their allies advancing upon Antorus, the Legion prepares to unleash these vicious creatures onto the battlefield and put an end to the mortals' invasion.

Shatug

Huge fiend (demon), chaotic evil

  • Armor Class 16
  • Hit Points 276 (24d12 + 120)
  • Speed 45 ft.

  • Challenge 19 (22,000 XP)

Focusing Power. When Shatug is reduced to half of its hit points (138), it shrouds itself in dark energy, becoming immune to all damage and conditions until the start of its next turn. At the start of its next turn, eight unoccupied 5-foot squares within 30 feet of Shatug become filled with souls. A creature that enters a space filled with souls takes 10 (3d6) necrotic damage.

Legendary Resistance (3/Day). If Shatug fails a saving throw, he can choose to succeed instead.

Magic Resistance. Shatug has advantage on saving throws against spells and other magical effects.

Magic Weapons. Shatug's weapon attacks are magical.

Actions

Multiattack. Shatug makes three attacks: one with its bite and two with its claws.

Bite. Melee Weapon Attack: +12 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 22 (3d10 + 6) piercing damage plus 13 (2d12) necrotic damage.

Claws. Melee Weapon Attack: +12 to hit, reach 10 ft., one target. Hit: 19 (3d8 + 3) slashing damage.

Consuming Sphere (Recharge 5-6). Shatug expels a 15-foot radius sphere of dark energy that travels 30 feet before detonating, affecting creatures within 5 feet of the sphere. All creatures within the sphere's area at some point during its travel must make a DC 19 Dexterity saving throw, taking 45 (10d8) necrotic damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.

Legendary Actions

Shatug can take 3 legendary actions, choosing from the options below. Only one legendary action option can be used at a time and only at the end of another creature's turn. Shatug regains spent legendary actions at the start of its turn.

  • Twin Teleport. Shatug and F'harg swap places.
  • Siphon Corruption (Costs 2 Actions). Shatug siphons the corruption within creatures other than F'harg within 40 feet of it. Each of those creatures must make a DC 19 Constitution saving throw or take 7 (2d6) necrotic damage.
  • Weight of Darkness (Costs 2 Actions). Shatug places the weight of shadows on a creature it can see within 30 feet of itself. That creature's movement speed is reduced by 20 feet until the end of its next turn. At the end of its next turn, that creature, and all creatures other than F'harg and Shatug within 10 feet of that creature, must make a DC 19 Wisdom saving throw or become frightened for 1 minute. A frightened creature can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success.
LEGION | RAIDS | ANTORUS, THE BURNING THRONE

F'harg begins combat on the left side of the chamber, and Shatug begins combat on the right side. Each fights to the death, and focuses their power at half of their health.

When the felhounds are slain, the party may loot a Shadow-Singed Fang.

3C. Outpost

To the left of the main den and just above the Devourers' Lair lies a small outpost before the causeway towards the Gaze of the Legion - the seat of the Antoran High Command. Below, Lightforged forces battle demons across a massive bridge that spans some of the lower levels of Antorus.

Guarding the outpost are four slobbering fiends and a clubfist beastlord. When the monsters in this area have been slain, a contingent of Lightforged forces storm the area, setting up a teleport beacon at the edge of the bridge that leads to area 5A.

3D. Legion's Reach

The rightmost path in the forked road leads to a small bridge-like structure, ending in a portal that takes any who step in it to area 6A in the Halls of the Boundless Reach.

Stairs lead up to a small circular area in the middle of the bridge, which then turns left, leading towards the transport portal. A fanatical pyromancer, an antoran doomguard, and two antoran champions guard the portal leading to the Halls.

4. Broken Cliffs

Below the Den of the Devourers lies a relatively unguarded section of Antorus that perches on the edge of the world. It is here that a secondary contingent of Lightforged, based out of the Vindicaar, have set up camp.

4A. Lightforged Camp

Much like in area 1A, the Lightforged have set up a camp in this area. A teleport beacon in the area leads to the Vindicaar, where the party may take a long rest. Lightforged forces here can spare healing for the heroes, if necessary. Two Lightforged draenei priests can each cast cure wounds at 3rd level (Wisdom of 16) twice before needing to save the rest for healing any wounded Lightforged.

F'harg

Huge fiend (demon), chaotic evil

  • Armor Class 16
  • Hit Points 276 (24d12 + 120)

  • Languages Common, Eredun, Titan
  • Challenge 19 (22,000 XP)

Focusing Power. When F'harg is reduced to half of its hit points (138), it shrouds itself in flame, becoming immune to all damage and conditions until the start of its next turn. At the start of its next turn, eight unoccupied 5-foot squares within 30 feet of F'harg become filled with embers. A creature that enters a space filled with embers takes 10 (3d6) fire damage.

Legendary Resistance (3/Day). If F'harg fails a saving throw, he can choose to succeed instead.

Magic Resistance. F'harg has advantage on saving throws against spells and other magical effects.

Magic Weapons. F'harg's weapon attacks are magical.

Actions

Multiattack. F'harg makes three attacks: one with its bite and two with its claws.

Bite. Melee Weapon Attack: +12 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 22 (3d10 + 6) piercing damage plus 13 (2d12) fire damage.

Claws. Melee Weapon Attack: +12 to hit, reach 10 ft., one target. Hit: 19 (3d8 + 3) slashing damage.

Desolate Gaze (Recharge 5-6). F'harg sets its gaze on a creature within 30 feet of it and charges towards that creature. Each creature in F'harg's path must make a DC 19 Dexterity saving throw, taking 45 (10d8) fire damage and being pushed 10 feet on a failed save, or half as much damage and resisting the push on a successful one. The target of the gaze is always pushed, no matter its save result. F'harg then moves to the space of the pushed creature.

Legendary Actions

F'harg can take 3 legendary actions, choosing from the options below. Only one legendary action option can be used at a time and only at the end of another creature's turn. F'harg regains spent legendary actions at the start of its turn.

  • Twin Teleport. F'harg and Shatug swap places.
  • Enflame Corruption (Costs 2 Actions). F'harg enflames the corruption within creatures other than Shatug within 40 feet of it. Each of those creatures must make a DC 19 Constitution saving throw or take 7 (2d6) fire damage.
  • Molten Touch (Costs 2 Actions). F'harg pulls a creature it can see within 30 feet of itself through the Twisting Nether, forcing it to make a DC 19 Wisdom saving throw. On a successful save, the creature resists the pull. On a failed save, the creature is pulled adjacent to F'harg and is stunned for 1 minute. The creature can repeat the save at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success.

4B. The Vindicaar

Built to withstand travel to Argus, the draenei ship Vindicaar is the Army of the Light's base of operations after the destruction of the Xenedar. Here, most of the Army of the Light's commanders reside, as well as some draenei that traveled with Velen to Argus. Here, the party may take a short or long rest. However, for each long rest the party takes, replace half of any demons present in any previously cleared encounters.

Once the Antoran High Command and Portal Keeper Hasabel have been defeated, and Eonar defended, the Vindicaar readies itself to transport the party to the Hallowed Felworks, home of the Legion's greatest metalsmith. After the defeat of Kin'garoth, the Vindicaar transports the heroes to the darkest depths of Antorus - the Burning Throne itself.

5. Gaze of the Legion

An army as large as the Legion's needs direction, else its might would be spread too thin. From this fortress, the Legion's gaze sweeps across all worlds they deign to conquer, and the High Command directs their forces in the assault.

All worlds in their path have fallen - Azeroth is next.

5A. Fortress Approach

This section of the Gaze of the Legion was previously inaccessible by the party - however, thanks to the aid of Lightforged teleport beacons, it can be accessed. A small causeway leads towards an entrance to the fortress proper. Two fel portals stand in the center. When the party approaches, the portals expel a hulking demolisher, a bladesworn ravager, and a flameweaver.

The two fel portals that dispense the monsters in this area remain active until destroyed (AC 13; 67 hit points; resistance to fire damage; immunity to poison and psychic damage, as well as the charmed, exhaustion, frightened, paralyzed, petrified, poisoned, and prone conditions). At initiative count 20 on the second round, and every round thereafter, each fel portal releases a felblade shocktrooper, which rolls initiative as normal.

Imperator Deconix

Large fiend (demon), lawful evil

  • Armor Class 18 (plate)
  • Hit Points 247 (26d10 + 104)
  • Speed 35 ft.
STR DEX CON INT WIS CHA
20 (+5) 13 (+1) 18 (+4) 10 (+0) 12 (+1) 15 (+2)
  • Saving Throws Str +10, Con +9, Cha +7
  • Skills Athletics +10, Intimidation +7, Perception +6, Survival +6
  • Damage Resistances fire; bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing from nonmagical attacks
  • Senses darkvision 120 ft., passive Perception 16
  • Languages Common, Eredun
  • Challenge 16 (15,000 XP)

Charge. If Deconix moves at least 10 feet straight toward a target and then hits it with his maul on the same turn, the target takes an extra 7 (2d6) slashing damage. If the target is a creature, it must succeed on a DC 16 Strength saving throw or be knocked prone.

Fel Torch. Deconix blazes with escalating fel energy. Each time a creature hits him with a melee attack, that creature takes 2 (1d4) fire damage, plus 2 (1d4) fire damage for each other time it has taken damage from Deconix's Fel Torch.

Legendary Resistance (1/Day). If Deconix fails a saving throw, he can choose to succeed instead.

Legion Strike. Once on each of his turns when Deconix makes a maul attack, he can make another attack against a different creature that is within 5 feet of both the first creature and Deconix.

Magic Resistance. Deconix has advantage on saving throws against spells and other magical effects.

Magic Weapons. Deconix's weapon attacks are magical.

Actions

Multiattack. Deconix makes two weapon attacks. He can replace one weapon attack with Earth Tremor.

Maul. Melee Weapon Attack: +10 to hit, reach 10 ft., one target. Hit: 19 (4d6 + 5) bludgeoning damage.

Sweeping Strike. Melee Weapon Attack: +10 to hit, reach 10 ft., any number of creatures. Hit: 19 (4d6 + 5) slashing damage.

Earth Tremor (Recharge 5-6). Deconix slams his weapon into the ground, causing a tremor in a 10-foot radius from himself. Each creature other than Deconix in that area must make a DC 17 Dexterity saving throw or take 7 (2d6) bludgeoning damage and be knocked prone. If the ground in that area is loose earth or stone, it becomes difficult terrain until cleared, with each 5-foot-diameter portion requiring at least 1 minute to clear by hand.

Fearsome Leap (Recharge 5-6). Deconix leaps towards a point he can see within 20 feet of him, crushing creatures underfoot. Any creature he directly lands on must make a DC 17 Strength saving throw, taking 21 (6d6) bludgeoning damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. Succeed or fail, the creature is knocked prone underneath Deconix. Deconix then spins, striking at all creatures within 10 feet of him with his maul. Each of those creatures must make a DC 17 Dexterity saving throw or take 23 (4d8 + 5) bludgeoning damage.

Reactions

Pursuit. When a creature attempts to move out of Deconix's weapon range, he can use his reaction to move up to his movement speed toward the creature and make a weapon attack. This movement doesn't provoke opportunity attacks.

LEGION | RAIDS | ANTORUS, THE BURNING THRONE

5B. Inner Fortress

The interior of the Gaze is sparse and functional, like most Legion structures. A simple causeway spans the middle of a room above a pit of fel sludge, connected to both sides of the pit by sloping stairs. The walls are made of gray-green steel, smooth to perfection. Beyond the doorway in the far wall, a faint map of Azeroth can be seen, along with a small group of demons.

In the center of the causeway stands Imperator Deconix, along with six felblade shocktroopers. Deconix has personally overseen their training, and has complete faith in their ability to decimate the upstarts that have sieged the fortress.

5C. Map Room

This room's center is dominated by a giant map of Azeroth, with lime-green dots representing the current strength and breadth of the Legion's forces. The room itself takes the form of a balcony overlooking a pit of fel sludge 90 feet below. Above, the Legion's generals direct it in its endless war. Small sloping paths lead up to an elevator that travels in a looping path towards the High Command chamber. Clobex, along with two fanatical pyromancers, oversee the map of Azeroth and guard the High Command.

5D. High Command

Antoran High Command

"This is one engagement you will not walk away from."

Long ago, in the golden age of eredar civilization, a council was formed to oversee the defense of Argus and maintain peace. But after their dark bargain was struck with Sargeras, these master tacticians used their military expertise to help orchestrate a Burning Crusade that ravaged countless worlds. Now the full might of the Legion's army is theirs to command, and they wield this terrible power to annihilate all who oppose the Dark Titan's will.

Each member of the High Command stands near one of their command pods (Admiral Svirax in the top left, Chief Engineer Ishkar in the top right, and General Erodus in the bottom). In addition to their stat blocks on the next page, see the Will of the High Command section for details on their abilities.

When the Antoran High Command are defeated, the party may loot Ishkar's Felshield Emitter.

Will of the High Command

While at least two members of the High Command are alive, they can take legendary actions as a group. Collectively, the High Command can take 4 legendary actions, choosing from the options below. Only one legendary action option can be used at a time and only at the end of another creature's turn. The High Command regains spent legendary actions on initiative count 20 every round.

  • Assume Command. One of the high command forcefully ejects any creature inside a command pod and enters the command pod.
  • Exploit Weakness. One of the high command makes a Wisdom (Perception) check against a creature's AC. On a success, the next attack against that creature has advantage and deals an extra 7 (2d6) damage.

6. Halls of the Boundless Reach

The Halls of the Boundless Reach is the main transport engine of the Legion. It is from this place that they activate portals to and from worlds under their control, transporting armies to and from worlds in an instant. Under the command of Portal Keeper Hasabel, the Legion's forces are being pulled en masse from worlds under their control to defend Antorus.

6A. Entrance

The portal deposits creatures that walk through it atop a circular platform with another portal that takes creatures to

area 3D behind them. On each side of the platform is a ramp that leads town to the main area of the Halls. A pool of fel sludge splits most of the middle of the area. A creature that touches the fel sludge takes 21 (6d6) fire damage. An alcove to the left leads to a portal to Elunaria. An alcove to the right leads to a currently deactivated portal. Portal Keeper Hasabel's nexus lies straight ahead. A group of demons stands before the entrance to Hasabel's chamber. Roll on the Random Encounter Table for this section to determine the group's composition.

6B. Elunaria Portal

This small chamber, illuminated by glowing green glass in the back, holds a portal that takes creatures that step through it to Elunaria (represented by the blue C on the map). Eonar, the last remaining spirit of the Titan pantheon Sargeras has yet to capture, currently hides out on Elunaria. A group of demons maintains the portal. Roll on the Entrance's Random Encounter Table to determine the monsters here.

LEGION | RAIDS | ANTORUS, THE BURNING THRONE

6C. Deactivated Portal

This alcove contains a currently deactivated portal. No troops currently exit the portal, and the portal itself is not connected to a Legion world. If monsters in the Halls of the Boundless Reach are slain, but Hasabel is not slain, this portal will be activated, and any monsters will be replaced. If entire groups of monsters are slain, roll for a new group on the Bridge's Random Encounter Table. A group of demons guards the deactivated portal. Roll on the Entrance's Random Encounter table to determine the group's composition.

6D. Nexus

This platform is suspended in the center of the main tower of the Halls of the Boundless Reach. Most of the portals to Legion worlds exist within this central tower. Portal Keeper Hasabel, the Legion's portal master, has control of all the portals in the Halls. When she dies, they destabilize, cutting off the Legion from its transportation network.

Portal Keeper Hasabel

"Every world in our path has fallen. Yours is next."

Portal Keeper Hasabel maintains the nexus through which the Legion has unleashed its insidious armies upon countless worlds. With portals that open to myriad strategic locations throughout the Great Dark Beyond, Hasabel is capable of bringing the might of the Legion’s arsenal to bear upon any who oppose her.

Portal Keeper Hasabel stands in the center of the Nexus (the skull covered by 6D on the map) and assaults the heroes with her magic. In addition to her stat block, see the Portal Master section for more details of the fight.

When Hasabel is defeated, the party may loot the Riftworld Codex.

Portal Master

At points during the fight, Hasabel hurls the party onto different portal platforms, forcing them to deal with a miniboss before returning to the fight. Each platform has its own effect and unique miniboss. While the party is on a platform and engaging the miniboss, Hasabel can take no actions of any type.

At the start of the fight, Hasabel flies into the air and transports the party to the Xoroth Platform. One she reaches 209 hit points, she sends the party to the Rancora Platform. Once she reaches 105 hit points, she hurls the party to the Nathreza Platform.

6E. Xoroth Platform

A platform suspended above the Nexus of the Halls of the Boundless Reach. It is mainly dominated by a flaming portal to Xoroth, world of the dreadsteeds. Atop this platform stands Vulcanar, a red infernal blazing with the power of Xoroth.

Each creature on the platform takes 5 (1d10) fire damage at the start of each of their turns. Defeating Vulcanar nullifies this effect.

6F. Rancora Platform

A platform suspended above the Nexus of the Halls of the Boundless Reach. It is mainly dominated by a rancid portal to Rancora, home of the aranasi and fel spiders. Atop this platform stands Lady Dacidion, an aranasi from Rancora. Her webs are imbued with the toxic nature of that plane.

Pools of rancid slime cover sections of the platform. A creature that touches the slime takes 13 (3d8) acid damage. The slime remains after Dacidion's defeat.

6G. Nathreza Platform

A platform suspended above the Nexus of the Halls of the Boundless Reach. It is mainly dominated by a shadowy portal to Nathreza, ruined world of the nathrezim. Concealed in the shadows of this platform is Lord Eligar, a dreadlord imbued with corrupting power. He can see through the magical darkness that seeps from the portal to Nathreza and covers the platform.

Magical darkness coats the platform containing the Nathreza portal, preventing creatures from seeing anything beyond 20 feet in front of them. Casting the daylight spell breaks the magical darkness for its duration.

7. Elunaria

The portal to Elunaria deposits creatures that walk through it to the blue C on the Elunaria map. Elunaria is a verdant world, filled with plant life. The location the party arrives on is on the edge of a cliff face near a group of titan structures. The ground below is obscured by clouds, but the fall is likely enough to kill anything that hits the ground. Distant mountains rise above the cloud cover, and another planet can be seen in the sky.

Elunaria is a safe haven for the party to take a long rest. Titanic watchers move throughout the area, restoring the plant life and causing it to grow. The titanic structures are themselves consist of brass domes and reddish-brown pillars, and all are coated with plant life courtesy of the renewing power of Eonar.

The path to the Elarian Sanctuary is split by a waterfall descending the sides of the mountain. The water is not deep, but is deep enough for its spaces to be difficult terrain.

Two titan keepers stand in the antechamber to the Elarian Sanctuary. The keepers bless each creature friendly to Eonar that passes through the antechamber, giving them the effects of the heroes' feast spell, doubling their movement speed, and halving all fall damage they take. The effects of heroes' feast last until the end of the spell, but the movements speed increase and fall damage decrease only have an effect on Elunaria and the Elarian Sanctuary.

8. Elarian Sanctuary

Eonar hides her undying essence within the Elarian Sanctuary on the world of Elunaria. The Elarian Sanctuary is a small titan outpost on the cliffs of Elunaria, overtaken with various plant life unique to the world. Three entrances to the sanctuary exist, and the Paraxis, a Legion ship, flies overhead.

8A. Sanctuary Entrance

The entrance to the Elarian Sanctuary from the cliffs outside of the fortress accessed by the party. It overlooks the rest of the fortress except for the Upper Sanctuary area. This is a possible location for Legion forces to spawn during the Defense of Eonar encounter. The path to area 8E is 30 feet below the stairs leading to area 8B from this area.

8B. Middle Sanctuary

Stairs descend 10 feet from the sanctuary entrance to a circular platform surrounding a Titanic energy source in the middle. A sloped bridge descends an additional 10 feet towards Eonar, in the center of the Elarian Sanctuary.

8C. Eonar

Nestled amidst a mixture of foliage and Titan construction lies the soul of Eonar. Vulnerable to attack by the Legion, Eonar enlists the help of the heroes to defend herself from

the doomship Paraxis and its army of demons. To the left of Eonar from the Middle Sanctuary, stairs descend 10 feet towards a path leading to the Lower Sanctuary. To the right of Eonar, a sloping pathway winds around, ascending 40 feet to the Upper Sanctuary.

Defense of Eonar

"Champions! The forces of the Legion seek to capture my essence for their infernal master!"

Though she was felled by the blade of Sargeras, the Life-Binder's essence escaped the grasp of the Dark Titan. After millennia spent hiding in isolation, Eonar's sanctuary has been discovered by the Legion. Should her soul fall into the enemy's hands, Eonar's powers of nature and growth will be perverted to make the Burning Crusade unstoppable.

Eonar's soul is located in the circle in the middle of area 8C. She has 250 hit points and an AC of 14. A creature adjacent to Eonar's soul may take an action to sacrifice up to 20 of its hit points, healing Eonar for the same amount.

The Paraxis unleashes five waves of enemies before retreating. A wave arrives at the start of the first round, and every second round afterwards (third, fifth, et cetera) until all five waves have arrived. Once all creatures have been defeated, the encounter ends. Roll on the Location Table to determine the location the enemies enter the area from, the Construct Table to determine the construct that accompanies the Legion forces, and the Troops Table to determine the troops that the Paraxis calls down.

LEGION | RAIDS | ANTORUS, THE BURNING THRONE

9. The Hallowed Felworks

Deep within the fortress of Antorus, Kin'garoth forges an army of fel reavers to fight the Army of the Light. His great forge churns out reavers at a constant pace - if left unchecked, he may singlehandedly bring about the end of the siege of Antorus.

When the Vindicaar arrives at the Felworks, Kin'garoth shuts the gate, preventing access to the Felworks until Imonar is slain.

9A. The Exhaust

The outermost section of the Hallowed Felworks, the Exhaust is where the fumes and waste created from reaver construction is expelled. A small walkway suspended over the open air leads directly to the door of the Exhaust, which is currently closed.

The Vindicaar, once it travels to the Hallowed Felworks, deposits the party at the leftmost end of the bridge. A teleport beacon is then set up there, allowing quick travel back to the Vindicaar. No Army of the Light forces accompany the heroes here - they are on their own.

Imonar the Soulhunter

"Your heads will adorn my trophy room."

The infamous Imonar serves as the Legion's bloodhound, capable of tracking prey across the cosmos. With a vast array of gadgets and traps at his disposal, Imonar has yet to lose a bounty... and he certainly doesn't intend to sully his perfect record by failing to fulfill his latest contract.

When the party approaches the closed door of the Felworks, Imonar swoops in at the opposite end of the bridge (to the right of the vortex on the map) and begins to attack the party. He sets up one of each of his traps on the bridge between the door to the Felworks and the circular divot he stands upon.

Once Imonar has been slain, the party may loot the Drape of the Spirited Hunt.

9B. Reaver Construction

Once Imonar has been slain, the Vindicaar powers up its cannon and bores a hole into the fortress door, allowing the party to move forward.

The interior of the Hallowed Felworks is vast and open, stretching so far that the walls fall out of view. Stacks upon stacks of fel reavers hang from the ceiling, ready to be put into use. At the end of the path in the center of the Felworks sits Kin'garoth, still constructing reavers as the party approaches. In between Kin'garoth and the party, standing on a circular platform near the door to the felworks, is a pair of recently constructed fel reavers. Roll on this section's Random Encounter Table to determine the pair's composition.

9C. Kin'garoth's Forge

Kin'garoth lies within the center of the Hallowed Felworks. In his depravity he has grafted his own body to the forge itself, empowering his construction efforts with his body and his mind. Kin'garoth does not move from the center of area 9C. His lower body is gone, replaced by machinery.

Kin'garoth

"Prepare to be deconstructed."

The design of every Legion war machine stems from the depraved mind of Kin'garoth. Obsessed with crafting implements of death, Kin'garoth infused his very body into the production machinery so he could more efficiently churn out a never-ending supply of destruction. At the behest of the Legion's dark master, Kin'garoth's fevered brilliance has developed a new super-weapon which he plans to unleash upon the Army of Light.

Opportunist. If Imonar moves up to 20 feet in a straight line, he may use his bonus action to place a trap in a space he moved through as if he used his Create Trap action.

Actions

Multiattack. Imonar makes three shock lance attacks and throws either a pulse grenade or sleep canister.

Shock Lance. Melee Weapon Attack: +12 to hit, reach 10 ft., one target. Hit: 16 (2d10 + 5) slashing damage plus 7 (2d6) lightning damage. Additionally, a creature of Imonar's choice other than himself within 10 feet of the target takes 7 (2d6) lightning damage.

Pulse Grenade. Imonar throws a grenade at a point within 30 feet of him. All creatures within 5 feet of that point must make a DC 19 Dexterity saving throw, taking 21 (6d6) lightning damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.

Sleep Canister. Imonar throws a canister filled with an incapacitating agent at a creature within 30 feet of him. That creature, and all creatures within 5 feet of that creature, must make a DC 19 Constitution saving throw or fall asleep. A sleeping creature wakes up if it takes damage, or if another creature uses its action to shake it awake.

Create Trap. Imonar assembles one of his four traps (see the "Imonar's Traps" sidebar) and hurls it towards a point within 15 feet of him. The trap remains until triggered or disabled through the use of a DC 17 Dexterity (Thieves' Tools) check.

Legendary Actions

Imonar can take 3 legendary actions, choosing from the options below. Only one legendary action option can be used at a time and only at the end of another creature's turn. Imonar regains spent legendary actions at the start of his turn.

  • Conflagration. Each creature within 20 feet of Imonar must make a DC 15 Dexterity saving throw or take 10 (3d6) fire damage.
  • Evade (Recharge 5-6). Imonar activates his thruster pack, leaping up to 50 feet to an unoccupied space he can see. This movement does not provoke opportunity attacks.
  • Master Trapper (Costs 2 Actions). Imonar uses his Create Trap action.
Imonar's Traps

When Imonar uses his Create Trap action, he may choose from the following traps:
Shrapnel Mine. A shrapnel mine occupies a 5-foot square. Stepping on the shrapnel mine triggers it, causing it to explode. All creatures within 10 feet of the shrapnel mine must make a DC 16 Dexterity saving throw, taking 11 (2d10) piercing and 14 (4d6) fire damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.
Pulse Trap. A pulse trap occupies a 5-foot square. Stepping on the pulse trap or moving adjacent to it triggers it, causing it to explode. Any creatures within 5 feet of the pulse grenade when it explodes must make a DC 16 Dexterity saving throw, taking 14 (4d6) lightning damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. A creature that fails its save becomes vulnerable to lightning damage until the end of its next turn.
Blastwire. A blastwire occupies a 15-foot long, 5-foot wide line. Moving through the blastwire's space triggers it, causing it to explode. All creatures in the blastwire's space when it explodes must make a DC 16 Dexterity saving throw, taking 17 (5d6) fire damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.
Stasis Trap. A stasis trap takes the form of a small sigil on the ground, occupying one five-foot square. Standing on the stasis trap triggers it, causing it to release its energy. The triggering creature must make a DC 16 Constitution saving throw or become stunned for three rounds. The creature can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success.

LEGION | RAIDS | ANTORUS, THE BURNING THRONE

Once Kin'garoth reaches half his hit points (189), he opens the reaver docking bays within his chamber, releasing another two recently constructed reavers. Roll on the Reaver Construction's Random Encounter Table to determine which reavers activate. The topmost reaver bay (seen as an oval offshoot of area 9C on the map) contains a garothi annihilator, the rightmost reaver bay contains a garothi demolisher, and the bottommost reaver bay contains a garothi decimator.

When Kin'garoth is defeated, the party may loot the Forgefiend's Fabricator. With his death, the Hallowed Felworks begin to crumble, stopping the Legion's production of fel reavers in its tracks. The lightforged place a teleport beacon to the Vindicaar at the entrance of Kin'garoth's forge, rescuing the party before they are crushed by the collapsing Felworks.

10. The Burning Throne

Deep below Argus, nearly adjacent to the planet's core, lies the Burning Throne. It is here that Sargeras has taken the spirits of the fallen Titan pantheon and twists them to his will. He has already broken Aggramar - once the rest are broken, his Burning Legion shall be unstoppable.

After Kin'garoth's death, the Vindicaar transports the party directly to the Burning Throne. Magni, Velen, and Illidan accompany the heroes on their descent, but do not engage in combat. Velen can spare spell slots of up to 4th level to cast cure wounds, healing word, and mass healing word on the

party, if necessary (3 1st-level slots, 3 2nd-level slots, 3 3rd-level slots, and 2 4th-level slots).

10A. Tarneth's Vigil

The Vindicaar deposits the party at the rightmost end of the Burning Throne, at location 4B on the map. Above, the shards of Argus hang in suspended orbit above. The Burning Throne itself hangs suspended above the planet's destroyed core. The path forward is made of black steel, and pillars ascend upward into the sky, no roof to be bound. Streaks of lava illuminate the pathway towards the Temple of Anguish.

At the end of the path, directly before the entrance to the Temple of Anguish, stands Tarneth one dark keeper. Behind them, stairs descend 5 feet behind them, and cries of pain echo from the temple beyond.

10B. Chamber Descent

This path leads into the Temple of Anguish - the core of the Burning Throne. The screams of anguish grow louder as the party approaches the inside of the temple. Just after entering the temple, a pit drops 45 feet into the Chamber of Anguish, where Varimathras waits. A group of succubi and shivarra stand in the center of the temple's entrance. The group consists of two priestesses of delirium and three sisters of the lash.

LEGION | RAIDS | ANTORUS, THE BURNING THRONE

10C. Chamber of Anguish

In the depths below the Temple of Anguish lies the Chamber of Anguish, where the Coven of Shivarra torture prisoners. Its current inhabitant is Varimathras - punished for his failures, Varimathras has entured an eternity of torture at the hands of the vindictive sisters. Bones of previous inhabitants litter the edges of the dirt floor that the chamber is built upon, and the edges crackle with the Coven's magic. A stairway at the back of the chamber leads directly to the main area of the Temple of Anguish, where the Coven of Shivarra enact their dark designs.

Varimathras

"Come, then. We will trade pain for pain!"

As one of the dreadlords overseeing the Legion's forces during the Third War, Varimathras failed to stop the rebellious Lich King. He submitted to an ill-fated alliance with Sylvanas Windrunner, then made one last bid for power before facing a humiliating defeat. In payment for his blunders, Varimathras has been tortured by the Coven of Shivarra. The vindictive sisters stripped away both flesh and sanity, leaving only a singular desire to inflict suffering upon the mortals who cost him everything.

Varimathras stands at the back of the Chamber of Anguish (represented by the skull on the map, below 10C). A stained-glass ceiling gives the Coven of Shivarra a direct view into the chamber of their favorite prisoner.

Once Varimathras is defeated, the party may loot the Thu'Rayan Lash.

10D. Temple of Anguish

A grand cathedral of pain, the Temple of Anguish is where the Coven of Shivarra torment their most valued prisoners. Currently, all of the Coven's efforts are bent towards torturing the Titan pantheon, bending them to serve the will of the Legion. An exit near the back of the temple leads to the worldsoul of Argus itself. The Coven makes their stand in the center of the temple, surrounded by the souls of the Pantheon.

The Coven of Shivarra

"You cannot escape the shadows!"

Having proven themselves to be the most depraved and fanatical of all his followers, Sargeras entrusted the Coven with the unholy task of twisting the minds of the fallen titans into an unstoppable Dark Pantheon. Each sister employs her own signature brand of torture, eliciting screams which echo throughout the halls of Antorus. It is said that neither mortal nor demon can refuse their whispers, making it only a matter of time before the will of the titans is broken.

Asara, Mother of Night, Diima, Mother of Gloom, and Noura, Mother of Flames stand in the very center of the temple, observing Varimathras in his cell through the stained glass floor.

When the Coven of Shivarra are defeated, the party may loot the Sheath of Asara.

The Coven torments a different soul of the Pantheon each round at initiative count 20 (torments cannot be repeated):

  • Machinations of Aman'thul. A vision of Aman'thul warps time around the Temple of Anguish. Each member of the Coven of Shivarra still alive regains 11 (2d10) hit points, and creatures hostile to the Coven take the same amount as necrotic damage.
  • Fury of Golganneth. Golganneth arcs lightning between the creatures in the chamber. Any creatures hostile to the Coven adjacent to any other creatures hostile to the coven take 14 (4d6) lightning damage.
  • Flames of Khaz'goroth. Eight images of Khaz'goroth appear, blasting 5-foot wide lines of fire that cross the chamber in a star formation. Any creatures in those lines take 7 (2d6) fire damage.
  • Spectral Army of Norgannon. Spectral images of Norgannon (a Huge creature) appear and walk the length of the room, reaching the opposite side at initiative count 20 the following round. Any creature that touches an image of Norgannon takes 39 (6d12) force damage. An image of Norgannon can be attacked, destroying it automatically.

10E. Aedis' Guard

Exiting the Temple of Anguish brings the party to a small area, a mirror of Tarneth's Vigil on the opposite side. Stairs lead up past this area towards the worldsoul of Argus. Beyond the stairs, a bridge stretches out across nothing towards a platform directly in front of the worldsoul, atop which stands Aggramar.

Directly outside the Temple of Anguish stands Dark Keeper Aedis, preventing the party from reaching Aggramar in time.

10F. The Worldsoul

A large, open-air platform stands tall and proud before the shimmering worldsoul of Argus. Once, it was a noble sight, but now it is a reminder of Sargeras' twisted ambitions for the cosmos and fuel for his armies. Guarding the broken worldsoul is Aggramar - once the Avenger of the titan Pantheon, now nothing but a guard dog for Sargeras.

Aggramar

"You will burn!"

Once the noble Avenger of the Pantheon, Aggramar was struck down by Sargeras and reborn as a titan of destruction. He now stands at the core of Argus, guarding a power that would unmake the universe. Not even demons are permitted to tread within the titan's halls, and any mortals bold enough to trespass will be reduced to cinders by Aggramar's burning blade, Taeshalach.

Aggramar stands at the back of the worldsoul platform (represented by a skull on the map). At half of his health, he activates his Corrupt Aegis ability (see his stat block for more details).

Once Aggramar has been defeated, the party can loot Taeshalach. After the party has rested, Magni transports the party to the Seat of the Pantheon - along with the recently freed souls of all of the Titan pantheon.

11. Seat of the Pantheon

Nestled in a corner of the cosmos, the Seat of the Pantheon is the Titan Pantheon's base of power. It is a brilliant gold and black structure floating in the vastness of space, etched with images of constellations on the floor.

Seven thrones of the titan Pantheon (in order - Aggramar, Khaz'goroth, Eonar, Aman'thul, Golganneth, Sargeras, and Norgannon). Sargeras' throne is empty, but the other thrones are occupied by the renewed spirits of the Pantheon.

After the defeat of Aggramar, Magni transports the adventurers, as well as the other titans and the worldsoul of Argus, to the Seat. Just after the party's arrival, Sargeras awakens the worldsoul of Argus, transforming it into Argus the Unmaker, who takes up position at the center of the chamber. Still weakened, the Pantheon watches the final battle from their thrones.

Corrupt Aegis. When Aggramar reaches half his hit points (218) for the first time, he shrouds himself in a shield of flame, rendering himself immune to all damage and conditions. Two flames of Taeshalach appear in unoccupied spaces within 30 feet of Aggramar, which act immediately after him in the initiative count. Aggramar's flame shield remains until both flames are slain.

Argus the Unmaker

"The master demands your doom!"

Long has the worldsoul of Argus been twisted into a fuel source for the Legion's reconstitution. Now, Sargeras has called upon his greatest servant to awaken and destroy the heroes that have ransacked his fortress. After Argus brings ruin to the heroes and the Titan Pantheon, he shall begin the end of all things at Sargeras's side.

Argus begins combat standing at the location marked by the skull in the center of the map (slightly covered by the number 11 on the map). When Argus reaches half of his hit points (343), Aman'thul strikes him with a temporal blast, splitting him into three constellar designates. One designate is equipped with the sword of the cosmos, one is equipped with the blades of the eternal, and one battles the party from range. Once all designates have been slain, Argus reforms in the center of the Seat.

At initiative count 20 every round during combat, Argus takes a lair action to use either Edge of Obliteration or Embers of Rage. Additionally at initiative count 20, one of the titans uses Golganneth's Aid, Khaz'goroth's Aid, Aggramar's Aid, or Norgannon's Aid (Norgannon's Aid can only be used while constellar designates are alive.)

  • Edge of Obliteration: Phantom scythes slash across the Seat, striking at all of Argus' enemies. Each creature hostile to Argus in the encounter (except for the Titan Pantheon) takes 3 (1d6) slashing damage and 7 (2d6) necrotic damage.
  • Embers of Rage: Argus roars, causing manifestations of his rage to affect all creatures in the Seat. Each of those creatures must make a DC 21 Wisdom saving throw or move up to half its speed and attack a random creature.
  • Golganneth's Aid: Golganneth empowers a creature with the calming waves of the sea. Whenever that creature restores hit points, the creature restores an extra 9 (2d8) hit points. This aid lasts until initiative count 20 on the next round.
  • Khaz'goroth's Aid: Khaz'goroth empowers a creature with fire. That creature deals an extra 9 (2d8) fire damage on each of its attacks. This aid lasts until initiative count 20 on the next round.
  • Aggramar's Aid: Aggramar empowers a creature with his Aegis, granting it resistance to necrotic damage. This aid lasts until initiative count 20 on the next round.
  • Norgannon's Aid: Norgannon exposes the weaknesses of a constellar designate he can see. That designate becomes vulnerable to cold, fire, lightning, or necrotic damage (Norgannon's choice). This aid lasts until the designate is slain. A designate's weaknesses cannot be exposed more than once.

Once Argus is defeated, the party witnesses the Pantheon force Sargeras back to the Seat of the Pantheon and end his crusade. Velen, Illidan, and Magni direct the heroes towards a teleportation node where they are transported to the Vindicaar and return to Azeroth, the Legion defeated. They may also loot the Scythe of the Unmaker before leaving.
