Embers of Neltharion’s most prominent new feature is a new playable zone, the Zaralek Caves. This expansive underground network of volcanic caverns is inhabited by many unique creatures, including a new faction composed of Niffins, naked mole rate-like creatures with a keen nose for treasure. Living in the quaint village of Loamm, the Niffins will serve as allies to the player as they explore the treacherous depths of the Zaralek Caves.

Patch 10.1 will also feature a new raid, Aberrus, the Shadowed Crucible. A secret laboratory where Neltharian the Earth-Warder, more commonly known as Deathwing, carried out his most sinister experiments, the halls of Aberrus hold the final remnants of the fallen Black Dragon Aspect’s legacy. To complete Embers of Neltharion’s campaign, players must venture into Aberrus and fight to stop the powerful magic sealed within from falling into the claws of the Dragonflights’ ancient enemies, the Primal Incarnates.

Besides these two additions, Embers of Neltharian will introduce cross-faction class guilds, a new upgrade system based around Flightstones and Shadowflame Crests, and overworld events known as Fyrakk’s Assaults. In addition, the patch is making small quality-of-life changes to player vs. player combat and class mechanics.
