For years historians have  explored southern Kalimdor for a means of entry into this ancient titan  land, searching for more evidence of Azeroth&#8217;s origins. But the  Cataclysm will change everything, for the fa\u00c3\u00a7ade behind which Uldum has  been tucked for millennia will be ruptured, leaving powerful mysteries  vulnerable to discovery by the bravest, smartest, or perhaps even most  brutal explorers.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The Halls of Origination in Uldum is a level-85 five-player dungeon  available in <em>World of Warcraft: Cataclysm<\/em>, featuring an  unparalleled journey through the timeless titan construction and seven  unique boss fights. Hidden deep within its halls lies an ancient  treasure that, if placed in the wrong hands, could endanger all life on  Azeroth. Should players survive the perils of Uldum, they will be called  to help Brann Bronzebeard unlock the mysteries within these treacherous  titan halls and protect the titans&#8217; ancient secrets.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>Entering the Halls<\/p>\n<p>You will immediately learn the gravity of your situation in the  Maker&#8217;s Overlook when  stumbling over the bodies of those who have  entered the Halls of Origination before you, seeking power&#8230; and  failing. Those who survive beyond the entrance of these ancient  corridors will be greeted by Brann Bronzebeard just outside the  dungeon&#8217;s transport system to the upper reaches. It will require more  than the guidance of Brann to advance upward, however, as the secrets of  these halls must first be unlocked.<\/p>\n<p>Chamber of Prophecy<\/p>\n<p>The column-strewn Chamber of Prophecy is truly a testament of  time. In a room adorned with the relics of an ancient culture, two arks  await investigation, protected by ever-faithful servants. Those who  meddle with the titan relics must answer to Temple Guardian Anhuur, the  overseer of this chamber and a master of holy magic and devastating  hymns.<\/p>\n<p>Tomb of the Earthrager<\/p>\n<p>Across from the Chamber of Prophecy and just outside the  dungeon&#8217;s walls lies the Tomb of the Earthrager, entrenched within a  pyramid sun-scorched and bombarded with sandstorms. Littered with the  bones of the long deceased, the tomb waits to collect more unprepared  victims. It is, after all, the resting place of Earthrager Ptah. Those  who disturb his tomb disrupt an eerily quiet place before Ptah shakes  the ground beneath you in a Tumultuous Earthstorm, bringing to life the  weathered bones of the deceased and unearthing vile Scarabs.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>The Vault of Lights<\/p>\n<p>With walls weighted by priceless titan artifacts, the Vault of  Lights will serve as a chamber of punishment for your intrusion.  Anraphet, a haunting statue of titan composition, awakens to serve his  fellow keepers and eradicate all mortals who enter. Make no mistake: his  long slumber will not prevent him from showing absolute wrath.<\/p>\n<p>Seats of the Keepers<\/p>\n<p>Survivors of the halls&#8217; depths will gain access to the upper  reaches. With help from Brann Bronzebeard, you must uncover the  mysteries of Uldum. Your journey will lead you to areas of ultimate  consequence: the Seats of Magic, Life, Chaos, and Radiance. Here you  will be confronted by the construct of magic Isiset, construct of life  Ammunae, construct of chaos Setesh, and construct of radiance Rajh. You  will be tested by these constructs of Uldum, who will not easily give up  their thrones or the secrets of the titans.<\/p>\n<p>Only by exploring Uldum&#8217;s Halls of Origination in World of Warcraft:  Cataclysm will you have a chance to uncover their dangerous powers, and  perhaps even the mysteries behind the origins of life on Azeroth.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Blizzard has released another sneak peak of upcoming content for Cataclysm (I&#8217;m not going to mention the stuff that has been leaked in violation of the NDA the people doing <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bigdamnheroes.org\/?p=427\" class=\"more-link\">[&hellip;]<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"Layout":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_is_tweetstorm":false,"jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","enabled":false}}},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p2BPLE-6T","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.bigdamnheroes.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/427"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.bigdamnheroes.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.bigdamnheroes.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.bigdamnheroes.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.bigdamnheroes.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=427"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"http:\/\/www.bigdamnheroes.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/427\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.bigdamnheroes.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=427"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.bigdamnheroes.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=427"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.bigdamnheroes.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=427"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
