We've been keeping a very close eye on the feedback players have shared for both Cataclysm and Mists of Pandaria raiding. We saw a lot of evidence and heard a lot of feedback which indicated that raid content was a little overwhelming at the beginning of Cataclysm.
Our goal is to smooth that out a bit in Mists of Pandaria. Keep in mind, Mogu'shan Vaults opens up one week after Mists of Pandaria launches. Guarded by ferocious magical beings, these sacred chambers have remained silent since the mogu's departure. The Sha of Fear has corrupted the grand empress of the mantid. Her increasingly erratic and paranoid commands have driven the Klaxxi--the keepers of mantid culture--to take aggressive action. Because they are few in number, the Klaxxi are reluctantly willing to accept outside help in destroying the empress and purging their race of the sha's negative influence.
Straddling the mountain range between the Jade Forest and the Vale of Eternal Blossoms, the Terrace of Endless Spring has been a sacred refuge for millennia.
Its peaceful fountains are said to have the power to heal and rejuvenate, but when the Sha of Fear attacked, many of the complex's guardians turned on each other in fits of terror. When Pandaria separated from Kalimdor many thousands of years ago, a veil of mist kept outsiders from discovering the newly-formed continent. The mists also hid a reminder of an ancient evil: Lei Shen's Throne of Thunder.
During his rule, this fortress was the seat of the Thunder King's power. Even after his death, great swathes of corrupted energy lingered, and now, the resurrected Thunder King and the Zandalari trolls intend to harness that energy to establish the reign of Lei Shen once again. The tensions stoked by Garrosh Hellscream's arrogance have reached a boiling point with the destruction unleashed upon the Vale of Eternal Blossoms. Leaders of the Alliance and Horde lay siege to Hellscream's capital in order to topple the ruthless Warchief once and for all!

Recently, the sha has been seen wandering Kun-Lai, using negative energies to corrupt everything the being encounters. Salyis's Warband The ruthless saurok roam Pandaria, stealing what they can and harassing the island's other inhabitants. The most infamous of these reptilian pillagers are Chief Salyis and his warband. For years, the saurok commander and his raiders have stormed through the Valley of the Four Winds atop Galleon, a colossal and well-armed mushan that is more a moving fortress than a simple mount.
Nalak, the Storm Lord When Lei Shen discovered a rare clutch of thundering cloud serpents, he was awed, and set to subjugating them. The largest hatchling fiercely resisted, and when Lei Shen visited the handling pens, he laughed mightily at the charred mogu that lined the walls. He took the hatchling for his own, and for its obedience, granted it power over the storms and the sky.
For thousands of years following the death of the Thunder King, Nalak has guarded the walls of his hidden citadel, awaiting his return. Oondasta As the war against Lei Shen's island citadel began, Alliance and Horde scouts made an effort to intercept missives between the major Zandalari camps. One such exchange seemed to revolve around an unfamiliar Zandalari word, always surrounded by terms of conquest and power: Oondasta.
Somewhere in Pandaria, the Zandalari Beast Ward raises their mighty beasts as engines of war, and is putting the finishing touches on this Loa-infused monstrosity. The exact location, however, remains unknown Uncertain of the future of his people, Emperor Shaohao sought out the great Red Crane. The Great Crane challenged Shaohao to find the hope within himself, and cast off his uncertainty.
Once the Sha of Doubt was vanquished, the Emperor became a beacon of hope for his people. To pass the tiral of the Crane, warriors must believe in hope, even in the darkest of days. With omens of a bleak future floating through his mind. Yu'lon urged Shaohao to cast off the dark emotions that plagued him, and through his trials, Empero Shaohao would becone one with the land.
To pass the trial of the Serpent, warriors must be wise in their choices. When Emperor Shaohao was overcome with fear, the Black Ox counseled him to face his fears directly. After a protacted battle with the Sha of Fear, the Emperor emerged victorious. To pass the trial of the Ox, warriors must be resolute in the face of overwhelming danger. Xuen, The White Tiger The trial of Xuen is simultaneously a test of strength and a test of restraint.
When Xuen gave Emperor Shaohao a foot-pole and asked him to strike one of Xuen's warriors, the Emperor could not land a blow. For without restraint, anger and hatred run wild. The core chamber of the Vaults contains an army of terracotta warriors that are built into recesses within the walls.
When the players enter, the statues begin animating and attacking in huge waves, and the fight quickly turns into a free-for-all. There will be certain heavy-hitting statues that require tanking, and many of the other statues have special abilities to keep the non-tanks busy.
The next two mini-tiers are reportedly the Heart of Fear and the Terrace of Endless Spring, which correspond to two parts of the same narrative:. Open four weeks after Mogu'shan Vaults for normal raiders, the main adversary is Grand Empress Shek'zeer, who:. Open for normal raiders once they complete the Heart of Fear, the main adversary is the Sha of Fear, who:.
Edit: Didn't see that the answer above also has the dates not with numbers but with words sorry for the repetition. Adding this answer to add the exact dates of the releases of these raids as they are not accessible right from the start :. Those who cleared normal Heart can access heroic Heart, same for Terrace. Currently, only Mogu'shan Vaults has been unveiled and opened for testing on the beta. The other two are highly subject to change before we know more. The Vaults will most likely be released similar to how they are on the beta.
Blizzard announced that the three raids will be released in stages, with Heart of Fear opening up four weeks after Mogu'shan Vaults, and Terrace of Endless Spring opened once players clear the Heart of Fear. These descriptions are available on the beta in the dungeon journals. If you don't have access to the beta, they are also referenced and kept updated at wowpedia.
Description: The mogu , proud of their supremacy, kept lengthy records of their accomplishments within a great complex of vaults. Guarded by ferocious magical beings, these sacred chambers have remained silent since the mogu's departure.
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 out of the very rock of Pandaria. 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 at the very heart of the vaults.
Will of the Emperor - The core chamber of the vaults is protected by stone soldiers who have been motionless for centuries. They are row upon row of warriors, statues armed for a battle that never began. What treasures do they guard? And what is their tie to the titanic power buried with them here in the shadows? Description: This is the seat of the Mantid dominion, and a place where the Queen of the Mantid currently resides, possessed by the Sha of Fear. It is located in a large, rotting tree structure in the center of the Dread Wastes.
Imperial Vizier Zor'lok - Zor'lok shrieks his proclamations so they're heard throughout the sprawling mantid palace. He is the Voice of the Empress, and his words alone inspire the insectoid race's warriors to give their lives without question. Unwaveringly loyal, Zor'lok will stop at nothing to defend his beloved matriarch, regardless of the corruption within her.
Blade Lord Ta'yak - Ta'yak is known for his patience and intelligence. In battle, he is a master at discovering his opponent's weaknesses and awaiting the perfect opportunity to strike. Ta'yak's skill with a blade is unmatched, and he cherishes imparting his martial knowledge on young mantid warriors. Although he exudes arrogance, the cunning insectoid is fiercely protective of his soldiers and enjoys fighting at their side.
Mel'jarak believes the mantid are superior to all other races, convinced that his kind cannot be defeated.
