Sylvanas: If the Jailer has breached the Sepulcher, then he is a breath away from enacting his plan.
Bolvar: We cannot allow that to happen.
---
Uther: Tell the others what you told me.
Sylvanas: You all have witnessed the Jailer's power firsthand. Without the means to resist his domination, we have no chance against him.
Sylvanas: Anduin may be the key. If we can save him from--
Jaina: You dare speak of freeing him after all you have done?
Uther: Sylvanas held the mourneblade that bound him. Her presence may help free Anduin from the Jailer's grasp.
Jaina: I will never trust her.
Uther: Then trust in me.
Jaina: Always, Uther.
Jaina: Very well. We will prepare to enter the Sepulcher and save Anduin... together.

Bolvar: Anduin, can you tell us anything about the Domination that the Jailer put in our way?
Anduin: No, I don't know how to counteract it... I... I'm sorry.
Jaina: It's all right. Rest. We will find a way.

The Primus: Zovaal needed to dominate the automa to enter the Sepulcher. Yet, they did not succumb immediately.
The Primus: If we use the Helm of Domination, we may be able to discover the source of their resistance.
Taelia: Should we use it, after all the devastation it's caused?
Bolvar: If we can find a way to resist Domination, it is worth the risk.

The Primus: Domination is akin to communication, a language, if you will.
The Primus: One so powerful that it interferes with a creature's very understanding of itself. This is why it is almost impossible to resist.
The Primus: If we can disrupt that interference long enough, we may find a way to thwart it.

Taelia: Here's one. This phrase really doesn't make any sense, does it? Just looking at it makes my head spin.
Bolvar: That feeling in your mind is the quality that makes Domination less effective.
---
Bolvar: Who taught you how to wield a hammer?
Taelia: Sir Crestfall of Kul Tiras. He was always there for me, growing up. Someone I could look up to, in the flesh.
---
Taelia: When you were there, alone in Icecrown, did you ever think of mother and me?
Bolvar: Every day.

The Primus: It is time to remake what has been broken.
Thrall: What is to stop this new helm from being used to enslave others?
The Primus: It is to become something greater. An instrument of free will.
Sylvanas: Never again will a Lich King reign in Icecrown.

Bolvar: With this reforging, our wills are our own.
Taelia: For the future.
Baine: For the Shadowlands.
Jaina: For Azeroth.
The Primus: This will be the end of Zovaal.

Comment by reboundHm. Does this mean that the Scourge are gone for good? Domination magic was used to raise them (Death Knights know allllll about that).Comment by AzraelUltimaHm. Does this mean that the Scourge are gone for good? Domination magic was used to raise them (Death Knights know allllll about that).unitedComment by vultrazWell, necromancy and Domination are different things, to me it seems that Domination is not the only way to control undead, so usual necromancers with their ghouls and skeletons will probably continue to exist, but the Lich King-level entities should be gone forever.Comment by AlakeiThancanThe scourge has been destroyed in 9.0, during the pre-patch. The whole purpose of it was dispatching the hordes of undead that seeped from Northrend.

As for other undeads (made by necromancers etc), they will still exist, and necromancers will still be able to use domination magic to control them. Only thing that's changed is that the Helm cannot control the undead anymore. Doesn't mean death knights and necromancers won't be able to.Comment by stepdadso who gonna put this new helm on? Bolvar again?Comment by AndelaiI have a bad feeling it will be Sylvanas.Comment by 1726Why are we even playing this Patch ? I can read all the Story MONTHS before it even comes out and when it comes out it already feels like old ContentComment by IckyNicky11The scourge wasn’t destroyed during pre-patch… the helm of domination was and therefore all the scourge were no longer being held back from running around mindlessly killing. During the kyrian campaign the player literally goes to Redridge in Azeroth and it’s being attacked by the scourge.Comment by LitoriaThe Shadowlands is freeeeee! Yaaaay!Comment by lukeangelMy question is how this will work for casual players who only do LFR like me. Its obvious that a lot of this content takes place after you free Anduin from the raid. But that part of the raid won't unlock for LFR players for quite a few weeks. Will we have to wait until that portion is open to continue the quest? Seems like even harsher time gating for some.Comment by ProblemtcBlenderI like how Darion broke free and resisted Arthas all of wrath, fought against Bolvar (who, Darion was the only person with a mind being dominated by him), and even made a mourneblade, but he seems to exist solely to show how weak he is against dominationComment by NymrohdThe scourge wasn’t destroyed during pre-patch… the helm of domination was and therefore all the scourge were no longer being held back from running around mindlessly killing. During the kyrian campaign the player literally goes to Redridge in Azeroth and it’s being attacked by the scourge.Comment by kragraghWhy are we even playing this Patch ? I can read all the Story MONTHS before it even comes out and when it comes out it already feels like old ContentComment by jcorle01I've decided there's two endings I will accept for Shadowlands.

1. Tyrande or Genn kills Sylvanas.
2. Sylvanas uses the Sepulcher instead to make herself the Jailer, removing his power.

Either way I want this storyline to end. Definitively.Comment by TheLustfulWhy are we even playing this Patch ? I can read all the Story MONTHS before it even comes out and when it comes out it already feels like old ContentComment by TheLustfulZovaal: "Hey, can I copy your homework?"
N'Zoth: "Yeah, just change it up a little so it's not obvious."Comment by NymrohdI've decided there's two endings I will accept for Shadowlands.
