The Violet Hold (Dungeon)

Brieanna ran the Violet Hold today. The Violet Hold (previously known as Dungeons of Dalaran) is a prison complex located in Dalaran. It is the third instance to be located within the bounds of a capital city (after the Stormwind Stockade and Orgimmar's Ragefire Chasm).

Brieanna ran through this twice today, once on normal to get familiar with it then again on Heroic. We didn't have any problems on either run. Once the instance starts, there are portals that open, one after the other. Each time one opens it releases invaders of the blue dragonflight. They are trying to destroy the hold's defenses and get out into Dalaran to destroy that.

You really don't have any time between portals but you do get a little time to mana up and get ready after each of the bosses that come out.

Every so often a boss will be released from their "cell". You will fight three bosses, the first two being randomly selected from the following list:

• Erekem - Captured arakkoa
• Moragg - Captured floating eye
• Ichoron - Captured water revenant
• Xevozz - Captured ethereal
• Lavanthor - Captured core hound
• Zuramat the Obliterator - Captured void lord

You will always have to fight Cyanigosa as the third boss.

I found this instance to be pretty easy in both normal and heroic modes. Like I said, we had no problems whatsoever. It is a lower level instance, green to me, and the people that were in there were my level to 5 levels below on normal and level 80 in heroic.
