Wrath of the Lich King has a lot of new dungeons, and hopefully you've been running them all as you level. Personally, I find them all pretty awesome, but Ahn'kahet: The Old Kingdom (http://www.wowwiki.com/Ahn%27kahet:_The_Old_Kingdom) is the first one that completely blew me away. Overall, I'd say it's not as good at Halls of Stone (http://www.wowwiki.com/Halls_of_Stone) or Halls of Lightning (http://www.wowwiki.com/Halls_of_Lightning), but Ahn'kahet has certain elements that make it one of my favorites.
Not only is Ahn'kahet visually stunning, but it gives you a glimpse into the story of Yogg-Saron (http://www.wowinsider.com/2008/11/17/ask-a-lore-nerd-yogg-saron-and-warchief-garrosh-hellscream/) and his relation to the Scourge and other forces. It's a little repetitive in some places (the first boss is a bit boring), but it also houses some of the best 5-man bosses we've seen yet. The final boss, Herald Volazj, is the embodiment of the technical advances Blizzard has made with the gameplay in Wrath of the Lich King (http://www.wowinsider.com/category/wrath-of-the-lich-king/). I almost feel bad mentioning him at all, because I've been running Ahn'kahet repeatedly with people who have never done it before. Seeing them wig out the first time they do the boss is awesome.Continue reading Ahn'kahet's Herald Volazj: Quite possibly the coolest boss ever (http://www.wowinsider.com/2008/11/18/ahnkahets-herald-volazj-quite-possibly-coolest-boss-ever/)
