Nighthold (instance)



The Nighthold stands as a testament to the achievements of the nightborne civilization. It is the largest structure in the Broken Isles, and among the grandest in all of Azeroth. Centered around the Nightwell, the fount of arcane power that has sustained Suramar for centuries, these grounds were built as a haven from the worries of the world. This is the palace from which Grand Magistrix Elisande runs the city of Suramar. She has brokered a deal with the Burning Legion to allow them to use a portion of the Nightwell energy.

The entrance can be found in the Sanctum Depths of the Sanctum of Order. The instance opened January 17, 2017, with Mythic and LFR modes a week later.

Adventure Guide
''The largest structure in the Broken Isles and among the grandest in all of Azeroth, the Nighthold stands as a testament to the achievements of the nightborne civilization. Centered around the Nightwell, the fount of arcane energy that has sustained Suramar for centuries, these grounds were built as a haven from the worries of the world. But as a felstorm churns above the former temple of Elune across the bay, and Gul'dan himself now resides within the palace's walls, those worries now begin-not end-here.''

Encounters
An undersea passage offers access to the foundations of the Nightwell itself, but forgotten terrors await within.
 * Arcing Aqueducts

The palatial grounds of the Nighthold stand as the pinnacle of a culture thoroughly shaped - and twisted - by magic.
 * Royal Athenaeum

For Grand Magistrix Elisande, who mortgaged her people's future in a dark bargain with the Legion, a day of reckoning comes.
 * Nightspire

''Atop the Nighthold, the warlock Gul'dan arrives at the purpose for which his Legion masters sent him to Azeroth. Destiny awaits.''
 * Betrayer's Rise

Getting there
Fly to Meredil in Suramar, and enter Shal'Aran. Take the portal to the Sanctum of Order, run down into the Sanctum Depths and take the northern tunnel to find the entrance.

When Aluriel is killed, the main door of the Nighthold becomes a second instance portal and the Nightfallen/Kirin Tor army outside of it sets up a defense by the fountain.
