Court of Stars Dungeon

 Court of Stars Dungeon

Keya was doing quests in Suramar when she came across the "Court of Stars" Dungeon. I believe this is part of the Emerald Nightmare raid/dungeon group. She was curious, having never seen the inside of any of the dungeons of Legion. She pictured bare rock, bloody pools of Fel, and dangerous monsters and elites ready to devour her.

It wasn't like that. When Keya stepped through the portal she was standing on a quay in an area very much like the rest of Suramar. It was nice, actually. A small, unmanned boat puttered over and stopped. Keya stepped in, and the boat took her a short distance to another small landing. So far so good. The whole area had a soothing, calm atmosphere. There was no one around. 


 

Well, almost no one. A demon stepped out from one of the many arches. He apparently didn't see her, but Keya could tell the demon sensed something. The demon was a 112 elite. Keya had killed many such demons. She wondered if a dungeon level demon would pack a larger punch. Theoretically, there should be a group of five in here. There was only her. Well, the demon was still standing there, so she went over to say hi. And then killed it. It wasn't even that hard.
 

She decided to check the inside of the arch where the demon had come from. There was a set of stairs that went up a couple of floors and to an open doorway. Keya could see numerous demons and other of their kind. A voice in her head said something about disguising herself "by disabling the arcane beacons." She had no idea how to that, however, and the disguise she wore in Suramar was not available to her here. To her right were two elite demons. To her left were other elite creatures.

Killing a single elite demon is one thing. Getting the attention of a room of elites in a dungeon designed for five heavily armed adventurers is suicide. She took the sane approach and hearthed back to Dalaran.


 

Still, Keya can now say she did a dungeon run. Sort of. Of a practical matter, Keya's little adventure got her to 14k Nightfallen rep toward the 21k she needs. It's a slow slog.

PS - Keya will continue the motions of getting her Pathfinder completed and pursue her class mount. She even spent a considerable amount of time getting another piece of the "Good Suramaritan" by completing the "Tidying Tel' anor" segment. She'll work on getting The Nightfallen to Exalted. She still has to finish "A Change of Seasons" and "A Growing Crisis." I believe she will run into raid/dungeon blockades soon. Keya will keep at it until she reaches the dead end. Even then, she still has a few tricks to play.
