Death's Door

Death's Door

Death's Door is located between Jagged Ridge to the west and Vekhaar Stand to the east in southeastern Blade's Edge Mountains. It is the location of one of the four dimensional gateways which Magtheridon used to bring demons from the Twisting Nether under his control.

Illidan Stormrage shut down the gateways, cutting off the flow of demons and ending the extra stresses on the remnants of the planet, but this gateway is still partially functional, slowly bringing in Wrath Hound (hound-like demons) reinforcements for the Burning Legion. The region is guarded by the demonic agents of the Burning Legion, including Beholders and an Eredar Houndmaster responsible for bringing the reinforcements through the gateway. The gateway is only functional due to Baelmon the Houndmaster who uses his own magic to power it. But still, it is partially functional as the Houndmaster can only draw out the Wrath Hound's soul and needs one of the Legion's gates, the materialization chamber, to teleport the corpereal body and infuse it with the owner's soul.

The Wrath Hounds are then teleported to one of the Forge Camps in Blade's Edge Mountains.

A quest chain starting in Evergrove sends players to this area to stop the flow of reinforcements.

Baelmon's Quotes

• Yells to the Felguards guarding the Legion gate: "Our ally has almost arrived, clear the way to the chamber!"
• Yells to the summoned Wrath Hound: "Make your way into the materilization chamber!"
• Yells to the summoned Wrath Hound: "Now, go to the translocator. Forge Camp: Wrath awaits your arrival!"

Trivia
