The Shrine in daylight.
The Shrine of the Storm (or the Shrine of the Storms)[1] is a monumental temple located on an island in eastern Stormsong Valley. It is the seat of House Stormsong and the stronghold of the Tidesages.[2]
It is also a dungeon, while the Crucible of Storms raid is located underneath it.
According to Xal'atath, the area of the Precipice of Oblivion, where Storm's End and the Shrine of Shadows is found, has had countless names over the ages and echoes with ancient power.[3]
Adventure Guide[]
The Shrine of the Storm is a seat of power for both House Stormsong and the tidesages. Here, blessings upon the fleet are performed to ensure that the Kul Tiran fleet knows no equals in combat. Yet, a dark force has corrupted these sacred grounds and threatens to steal control of the Kul Tiran Fleet forever.
Narrative[]
The adventurers enter the Shrine of the Storm through the Tidewater Sanctum.
- Brother Pike says: The shrine must be cleansed of Lord Stormsong's evil, heroes.
- Brother Pike says: Tread carefully. Some dark presence watches us even now.
- Rexxar says: With the power of the Tide Pearl, our fleets will be unstoppable.
- Rexxar says: The Alliance must not claim this prize. All who oppose us will fall!
- Rexxar says: Now...let the hunt begin!

Notes and trivia[]
- The Shrine looks similar to the original concept for the Dragon Isles.
- Trying to enter the uninstanced version of the Shrine causes you to be given the debuff Choking Fog and be teleported out to one of two locations:
- The Lost Estate, in front of the statue that resembles Daelin Proudmoore[79.88, 53.68] (uses the same asset as in Boralus), if you are near Storm's End or the Shrine of Shadows.
- Behind the statue of Lord Stormsong near the instance entrance[75.04, 25.84], if you are near Tidewater Sanctum or the Fonts of Cleansing.
