The Race to World First in Nerub-ar Palace Has Begun!

The race to see who can navigate down to the dark depths of the nerubian empire—through a web of lies and deceit—to take down Queen Ansurek and her Sureki followers begins this week.

The top World of Warcraft guilds will race through the tangle of challenges that Nerub-ar Palace delivers, making their way to the nexus to face off against Queen Ansurek and her dark powers.
