Background

Blackfathom Deeps is located in the Zoram Strand area in Ashenvale on the continent of Kalimdor. Once a glorious temple dedicated to the Night Elves' moon-goddess, Elune, the great Sundering shattered the temple - sinking it beneath the waves of the Veiled Sea. There it remained untouched until, drawn by its ancient power, the Naga and Satyr emerged to plumb its secrets. Legends hold that an ancient Hydra, Aku'mai, a favored pet of the primordial Old Gods has taken up residence within the temple's ruins, preying on the area ever since. Drawn to Aku'mai's presence, the cult known as the Twilight's Hammer has also come to bask in the Old Gods' evil presence.
