Sepulcher of the First Ones

:Not to be confused with the Sepulcher (a town in Silverpine Forest) or the Sepulcher of Knowledge (a library in Maldraxxus).
The Sepulcher of the First Ones is the final raid instance of the Shadowlands expansion, located east of Zereth Mortis. It is an ancient place of power, containing secrets of the eponymous First Ones that the Jailer seeks to use to rewrite the rules of the universe.
==Background==
The Sepulcher is a place that should not be able to exist according to the laws of physics as they are known on Azeroth. Prior to the Jailer's attack, the Sepulcher's location was a closely guarded secret. The attendants of Korthia were forbidden from discussing it, even with allies.Hooking Over
Long ago, the Jailer sought to unmake the balance of the cosmosCovenants Renewed and tried to claim the sigils of the other Eternal Ones, believing that they were keys to forbidden knowledgeVoices of the Eternal locked within the Sepulcher that would allow him to unravel the cosmos. The Primus believed that if the Jailer obtained all five sigils, nothing would be able to stop him from reaching the Sepulcher.Secrets of the VaultLost Records The Primus was eventually proven right, when the Jailer managed to collect all five sigils and opened a portal to Zereth Mortis from Oribos.Sylvanas Windrunner (tactics)#Post-cinematic dialogueLore Book: What Lies Ahead
