The entrance to Shadowmoon Burial Grounds is at coordinates 31.9, 42.5 in Shadowmoon Valley, tucked behind some steps on the bottom level of the courtyard. You’ll find the nearest flight points at Embaari Village or Twilight Glade for Alliance players, or just use Aviana’s Feather straight from your garrison.

Is there a dungeon in Shadowmoon Valley?

Shadowmoon Burial Grounds is indeed a dungeon in Shadowmoon Valley, first added in *Warlords of Draenor*. It wraps up with Ner’zhul as the final boss, set inside Anguish Fortress.

Designed for groups, it throws in quests that weave into Draenor’s bigger story. Knock those out and you’ll earn reputation, gold, and gear upgrades—pretty solid rewards for your trouble.

How do I start Shadowmoon Valley quests?

Grab the quest chain by chatting with Chief Apothecary Hildagard (Horde) or Zorus the Judicator (Alliance). They hang out near (64.7, 70.7) in the southern part of the Lower City district.

These two NPCs hand you the first batch of quests that’ll guide you through the zone. Finish their tasks and you’ll unlock follow-ups from nearby NPCs, slowly opening up more of Shadowmoon Valley to explore.

What happened to Shadowmoon Valley?

Shadowmoon Valley got torn apart when Draenor collapsed, thanks to Ner’zhul’s endless portals that were supposed to invade Azeroth.

What used to be a peaceful land turned into a jagged wasteland, littered with the wreckage of its former glory. The zone still carries those scars—dark, chaotic, and impossible to miss.

How do I get to Shadowmoon Valley from Orgrimmar in 2020?

Walk to the Cleft of Shadow in Orgrimmar, right where Rogue, Mage, and Warlock trainers stand. The portal on the right drops you in Hellfire Peninsula, the first zone in Outland.

If you’re playing *Classic*, you’ll need the Dark Portal in the Blasted Lands instead. Just follow the NPCs’ directions, step through, and you’re on your way.

How do you unlock Shadowmoon Valley?

Head straight to the Dark Portal in the Blasted Lands to unlock Shadowmoon Valley. Grab the quest there to open Draenor for exploration.

Shadowmoon Valley hands out 42,000 reputation with the Dragonmaw clan after you finish quests with Mordenai.

What reputation do you get in Shadowmoon Valley?

You can build reputation with the Netherwing by talking to Mordenai in the Netherwing Fields, down in the southeastern corner of Shadowmoon Valley.

Mordenai dishes out a series of quests that, once done, put you at Neutral with the Netherwing. That reputation opens the door to exclusive vendors and rewards in the zone.

What expansion is Shadowmoon Valley?

Shadowmoon Valley belongs to the *Warlords of Draenor* expansion, where it serves as the Alliance’s starting zone.

How do you get to Outland from Orgrimmar in 2020?

Take the Shattrath portal in Stormwind’s Mage Tower or Orgrimmar’s portal room. That’s the go-to route in retail.

How do you get to Old Outlands?

Old Outlands opens up through a portal to Shattrath in the Shrine of the Seven Winds. Lower-level characters can find portals in Orgrimmar and Stormwind too.

These portals drop you right into Shattrath, the neutral hub where you can explore Outland’s faded past. Check your faction’s portal spots—locations can shift slightly between versions.

How do you get to the Outlands?

Step through the Dark Portal in the Blasted Lands to reach Outland, located in the Eastern Kingdoms.

Head back to Azeroth by using the Shattrath portals to your faction’s capital city. It’s the fastest way to bounce between continents.

How do I get to Stormshield in the Shadowlands?

Stormshield is the Alliance capital in Draenor, sitting on the south end of Ashran. It’s protected by the Stormshield Stronghold, the Alliance’s main base in the zone.

Over on the north end of Ashran you’ll find Warspear, the Horde’s equivalent. Both capitals act as faction hubs packed with quests, vendors, and PvP action.
