With the help of Grom Hellscream, who had been held prisoner by the Laughing Skull clan, the attack was carried out successfully and Ner'zul gained the knowledge required to open to portal back to Azeroth and begin the next stage of his plan. |

The present-day Laughing Skull Clan is now based in the northernmost reaches of [[Nagrand]], possibly still under the sway of the aforementioned Pit Lord. |

Throne of the Four Winds is a raid in the Skywall complex, introduced in World of Warcraft: Cataclysm. It can be found off the southwest coast of Uldum at [38, 81] high in the air.
Along with Bastion of Twilight and Blackwing Descent, Throne of the Four Winds serves as an entry-level raiding instance, much as the level 80 version of Naxxramas was for Wrath of the Lich King and Karazhan was for the Burning Crusade.[1]
Encounters
The raid contains two encounters, the Conclave of Wind - djinn warlords who seek to prove themselves to their master - and Al'Akir himself, who resides in the middle of the instance. It is one large instance (as opposed to a larger instance divided into multiple sub-areas). The fights involve traveling between various platforms via winds that act as pseudo-bridges.
