World of Warcraft Patch 9.1 is going live on June 29. Chains of Domination will unite the four covenants. The champion of Azeroth will face the Jailer’s forces when the next chapter of Shadowlands story goes live. Players can expect tons of new content during the new patch.
Despite experiencing a content drought of epic proportions, Chains of Domination promises to include a boatload of new content. Fans have recently taken to social media to air their grievances about the long wait with no news. Even I had begun playing Final Fantasy XIV to ease the pain.
So, let’s discuss the content arriving on June 29.

Chains Of Domination
A new zone named, Korthia, is coming to the Shadowlands. The lost zone contains key secrets about the First Ones and their Attendants. Explore the “city of secrets” as we fight the Dreadlords who are working with the Jailer.
The Jailer’s interest is so great that he pulls Korthia into The Maw. Players will have the full support of all four covenants during this assault of the Dreadlords and the rest of the Jailer’s forces. Keeper’s Respite is the main questing hub. All four covenants will have their own bases within the zone. So be sure to check them out!
Korthia will include important story quests for the new raid, Sanctum of Domination. The Sanctum of Domination lies within the far reaches of Torghast. This 10-boss raid leads to an epic showdown with the Dark Lady, Sylvanas Windrunner. Korthia will also serve as our new daily quest hub.
Check out the raid unlock schedule for Sanctum of Domination:

Chains Of Domination Continued
Besides the new raid being introduced in World of Warcraft patch 9.1, players can also be excited about the new Mega-Dungeon called Tazavesh, The Veiled Market. Be sure to explore the markets’ exotic wares.
Discover strange creatures in the new eight-boss Mythic difficulty mega-dungeon. Meet the mysterious brokers in this fascinating bazaar. You’ll run into dastardly assassins, an infinite pirate dragon, four-armed broker guards, and many other enemies as you chase a wayward broker through the market.
Your task is to stop the wayward broker from unleashing the might of a stolen artifact. She’s determined to realize her own designs regardless of the consequences. This Mythic-only instance will reward players with exquisite loot coveted by the broker society. The loot includes a dazzling assortment of weaponry, otherworldly pets, and a mount.
In order to access Tazavesh, the Veiled Market, you’ll complete a series of short quests. The Innkeeper, Host Ta-rela, in the Idyllia section of Oribos will set you on the right path. The quest is called “The All’ey Cat of Oribos” and will ask you to meet with a mysterious contact named Al’dalil. He will introduce you to the world of cartels, their complicated relationships, and their propensity for ingenious wordplay. Al’dalil will be your guide as you make your way through the dungeon.

Chains Of Domination Cont
World of Warcraft patch 9.1 will finally be introducing flight. Players will be able to fly within Bastion, Maldraxxus, Ardenweald, and Revendreth. You can also look forward to using ground mounts in the Maw. So transportation is about to get a lot easier in the Shadowlands.
Players can also look forward to Shadowlands Season 2 for Mythic+. There will be a new keystone affix called Tormented. Be sure to look forward to new changes in PvP item level scaling. Your gear will now scale +13 item levels in PvP combat. This change means that the baseline of these items will be reduced by 6. Blizzard Entertainment’s goal is to make crossover play between PvE and PvP more viable.
Torghast, Tower of the Damed is also receiving updates. Look forward to cosmetic armor, pets, mounts, and achievements. Chains of Domination will be adding four new levels to Torghast. This means there will now be 12 layers for each wing. Also, each layer will only have five floors now. As the prison is supposed to be ever-changing this fits with the theme.

Torghast, Tower of the Damned
The endless prison is also changing how it operates. Players will no longer have to contend with the Terragrue if they die. The death counter is going away completely meaning that players can die as many times as they want.
You’re also guaranteed to walk away with Soul Ash. This is because final bosses will no longer reset their health if you lose. So players can work on lowering their health at their own pace.
Each Torghast run will now include a new Empowered progress bar. The new scoring system is for players to earn points. At the end of the run, players will be rewarded with gems. These gems range from 0 to 5. You must acquire four or more gems to move on to Layer eight. Earning five gems will allow players to open the Adamant Vaults.
Players will be rewarded for their activity with Blessings and Torments. These special power buffs and debuffs can help or hurt your progress through Torghast. You should also look forward to the Box of Many Things.
This is a new perks system that allows you to collect Memories of Torghast. These memories can be turned into the Runecaver to acquire Blessings. To use the Box of Many Things be sure to pick up the orange quest from Ve’nish, acquisitions specialist, during your first playthrough of Torghast in patch 9.1.
