So the release of WoW Patch 9.1 is on June 30, and there's a massive amount of content in the update. So much, in fact, that we had to split it up into hundreds of articles as part of our coverage. Here you can find an overview of the most important contents of Chains of Domination - and a link to the most important news, which contains the patch notes for WoW Patch 9.1! Below you can find the quick schedule for the unlocks of the different contents of the patch:
This is what's coming on launch day on June 30
Here's what's coming in Week 2 starting July 7.
Here's what's coming in week 3 starting July 14
Patch 9.1 is called Chains of Domination and mainly revolves around the four pacts allying and carrying the war against the Dungeon Master to his home, the Maw. The reason for this is primarily the Dungeon Master's open attack on the Archon, the supreme leader of the Bastion. The latter, as the intro cinematic to Patch 9.1 tells us, has transformed his prisoner Anduin into a weapon of his will and is attacking the Archon with this puppet. Anduin successfully returns with what the dungeon master calls a key. He still needs three more of these for his plans - apparently those of the other three major Shadowlands kingdoms.
In patch 9.1, the pacts are taking this as an opportunity to ally and now attack the Maw together. We will be establishing an outpost there, so to speak, that will serve as a base of operations for the attack, while also making life in the Maw much easier over time. The days when most of the Maw spread fear and terror among players will soon be a thing of the past. Even our trusty mounts now dare to enter and let us ride them through the areas. There are also 40 more glory levels to climb as part of the campaign, and flying is also unlocked - with no further prerequisites. You don't need to go through a reputation grind.

In the Maw, however, even more awaits us than we have yet come to know
.The dungeon master has brought the mysterious city of Korthia from the Netherworlds of the Shadowlands and anchored it in the Maw with gigantic chains. In the city inhabited by the Midlands, he searches for anything that will help him get to the other three keys kept in the Ardenwald, Maldraxxus, and Revendreth. We can only speculate what he plans to do with them, though. But it certainly won't be anything good. Korthia will then also be the setting for a large part of the Covenants campaign, which will continue with patch 9.1. However, since the pacts are now working together towards the same goal, they will be less different from each other than they were at the beginning of the expansion.

middle of Korthia lies one of the highlights of Patch 9.1: Tazavesh
.The mega dungeon includes eight bosses, is only playable in mythic mode and will most likely be equipped with a hard mode, as we know it from Mechagon. The entire dungeon is set in a massive midway bazaar, and will be split up and available in heroic mode in a later patch. In the first part we are still relatively classically in the bazaar, where we learn more about the life and background of the midwayers, while the second part will be one big raid and the subsequent escape from the city. Of course, there is again plenty of equipment, pets and a special mount to grab.

Once we have successfully completed the assault on the Maw, we and our allies will advance directly into the heart of the area and visit the new raid: the Sanctum of Domination, the seat of the Dungeon Master. Inside, ten new bosses and plenty of loot await our heroes. The fight against the Eye of the Dungeon Master deserves special (pun intended) attention. That annoying thing that makes our visits to the maw so unbearable and is only active in a weakened form after the raid has been released. We also face the Tarragrue, which we know as the final end of a failed attempt from Torghast. After that, though, things get really interesting. After the Fate of the Damned Encounter, where we meet the prisoners of the Dungeon Master's personal torture chamber, including some familiar faces from Azeroth's history, we face the final boss, who is none other than the Banshee Queen Sylvanas herself. How the battle will end and whether we will finally kill the Destroyer of Teldrassil, meanwhile, has not been revealed.
Here is the opening schedule for the Sanctum of Domination:

Apart from these big features, the developers are of course also taking care of the other content
.So the mission table will be expanded with new tasks, we get new media and maybe even a completely new variety of it. We can look forward to new package sets and the second season of Shadowlands will of course also bring a new season affix, which will be based on the fight against Sylvanas. In addition, the item level in the dungeons will be raised - we already know this from the previous expansions as well.
