Maps of war and their lords

The four maps of war open from the capitals of Dreadhollow to heroes of level 90. The Alliance enters from the west, the Horde from the east. There are no portals back: the only ways out are “Return to town” (30 seconds out of combat) and death.

  • Here live the “Accursed” – the strongest creatures: +25 levels, experience ×20, gold ×15, back in 5 minutes.
  • Loot drops three times as often.
  • Heroes of the two sides fight everywhere.

The lords

A lord is one very strong foe (about 30,000 health) in its own camp. It comes back in an hour. Each time it leaves exactly one piece of the best sets from its list, 3–6 supreme potions, elixirs, much gold, sometimes a rare book and – very rarely – a rainbow shard.
