Blackfathom Deeps (also known as: BFD) is a partially underwater dungeon in northwestern Ashenvale. It is accessed by a stair-lined shaft that requires one to swim through an underwater entrance. The deeps are comprised of a series of watery caverns leading deep to a temple devoted to the Old Gods. The Twilight's Hammer cult runs the shrine, which is one of their remaining strongholds since their defeat during the war against Deathwing. Now they intend to gather sacrifices in order to summon and appease the monstrous hydra Aku'mai the Devourer, a being associated with the Old Gods themselves, and if they are not stopped - it will devour the world.

It is one of three old-world dungeons that have been updated in Warlords of Draenor (the others are Razorfen Downs and Razorfen Kraul) in order to receive storyline progression, much like Ragefire Chasm was in Mists of Pandaria.

Background

Situated along the Zoram Strand of Ashenvale, Blackfathom Deeps was once a glorious temple dedicated to the night elves' moon goddess, Elune. However, the Great Sundering shattered the temple - sinking it beneath the waves of the Veiled Sea. There, the temple remained untouched until naga and satyr, drawn by its ancient power, emerged to plumb its secrets.

Legends hold that Aku'mai, a favored pet of the primordial Old Gods, has taken up residence within the temple's ruins. The cult known as the Twilight's Hammer has also come to bask in Aku'mai's evil presence - and members of the shamanic order known as the Earthen Ring rush to oppose them, knowing that where the Old Gods are invoked, dangers to the whole of Azeroth cannot be far behind.[1]
