The Mogu’shan Vaults Raid Opens July 31st in Mists of Pandaria Classic

Gather your allies and prepare to explore the hidden secrets of the elusive Mogu empire in the Mogu’shan Vaults—available globally on July 31 at 3:00 pm PDT.

Explore the Mogu’shan Vaults

The mogu, proud of their supremacy, kept lengthy records of their accomplishments within a great complex of vaults. The construction of these vast chambers predate any pandaren written records, shrouding their depths in mystery. Rumors once circulated of a mighty army locked within; for this reason, the vaults were the first target of the ancient pandaren rebellion, and they have been sealed ever since the mogu empire was overthrown.

Where: Kun Lai Summit
Level: 90
Difficulties: (10) Normal and Heroic, (25) Normal and Heroic
Bosses: 6

• The Stone Guard: The first line of defense against those daring to enter the vaults is a stolid row of enchanted, bestial statues. Hard as granite and ceaseless in their vigil, the sentries of the Stone Guard present an insurmountable wall of flame, fangs, and claws.
• Feng the Accursed: Long ago, Feng Shri was the Mogu’shan Vaults’ caretaker, tasked with preserving the treasures kept within these shadowy halls. After years of faithful service, he was caught stealing from the shelves (although some say he was framed by a jealous underling) and the mogu ruler punished him with a fatal curse. The doomed spirit of Feng Shri has wandered the vaults ever since, communing with the shades of past mogu heroes and warlords.
• Gara’jal the Spiritbinder: Leader of the Zandalar trolls’ assault on the vaults, Gara’jal is determined to crack open this trove of ancient mystery and bring back whatever arcane power and knowledge he can find. Gifted with dark talents and surrounded by a loyal cadre of Zandalar mystics, he has broken through the outer walls and will not rest until the vaults belong to him.
• The Spirit Kings:  Ancient records tell of these legendary rulers, powerful mogu who carved an empire from the very rock of Pandaria. Their names still cause the land to tremble: Zian of the Endless Shadow, Meng the Demented, Qiang the Merciless, and Subetai the Swift. Some say their spirits lurk in the vaults, lost in ghostly memories of battle and glory.
• Elegon: Dedicated to the advancement of their empire, the mogu salvaged and repurposed titan technology to generate untold power in the depths of this ancient complex. Why these energies have been focused into the cold will of a celestial dragon is a mystery that lies in the very heart of the vaults.
• Will of the emperor: The core chamber of the vaults houses an army of stone soldiers who have been motionless for centuries. They are row upon row of warriors, statues armed for a battle that never began. What reassures do they guard? And what is their tie to the titanic power buried with them here in the shadows?
