Spirit healers decide when it's time for a mortal soul to pass into the Shadowlands. As they seek to right the cycle and uncover the extent of Sylvanas' designs, players will forge bonds with the Covenants who hold domain over different planes within the Shadowlands. Under the normal order, departed souls were delivered to a realm appropriate to the lives they led, but now, all souls are being funneled into the Maw, where the most wicked are damned to suffer for eternity. World of Warcraft players entering the fabled Shadowlands will find the realms of the dead in upheaval. Sylvanas Windrunner, fallen leader of the Horde, has pierced the veil between Azeroth and the realm of the dead, setting in motion a series of events that threatens to upset the cosmic balance between life and death.

All expansion zones are getting more flexible, too they'll be able* to scale to you and your friends while you level to 50, so it's easy to try a zone you've never played.

The experience curve is adjusted to make it faster than ever to prepare for the newest challenges, and each level along the way will provide more meaningful increases in progress and power.
