'''Pestilence''' is a [[Death Knight]] ability that allows the Death Knight to spread his [[Frost Fever]] and [[Blood Plague]] from one target to other nearby targets within 10 yards. The major [[Glyph of Disease]] causes it to refresh the duration of diseases on the primary target before they are spread to the other targets. The minor [[Glyph of Pestilence]] can increase the range of spreading diseases by 5 yards. It costs 1 [[Blood Rune]] to cast.
āˆ’
'''Firelands''' is a raid instance, released with [[Patch 4.2.0]] on June 28, 2011. It can be entered through [[Sulfuron Spire]] in [[Mount Hyjal]]. It is a domain of [[Ragnaros the Firelord]], from where he endlessly sends his elemental and mortal minions in order to fulfill his ultimate goal of destroying [[Nordrassil]].
 
   
  +
==Improvements==
āˆ’
The raid consists of 8 bosses (one only accessible through the legendary quest chain), as well as outdoor and indoor environments. It is intended to be one grade in difficulty above raids implemented at release of [[Cataclysm]], just as [[Ulduar (instance)|Ulduar]] was in [[Wrath of the Lich King]].

{{tip|Glyph of Pestilence}}
āˆ’
The Firelands is the molten domain forged by the titans to house Ragnaros and his wayward minions. Following Deathwing's emergence into Azeroth, Ragnaros and his servants surged onto the slopes of Mount Hyjal before being driven back by the sacred mountain's valiant defenders. Now Ragnaros is rallying his loyalists to defend the Firelands from Azeroth's champions.

āˆ’
The ash-choked Firelands is the least hospitable of the elemental domains. What serves as air in this harsh place is laden with scalding, noxious fumes. The only safe havens from the Firelands' ever-churning magma ocean are islands of jagged rock. Yet even the dangers of this merciless landscape pale in comparison to the raging fury of the elementals who dwell there.<ref>http://us.battle.net/wow/en/zone/firelands/</ref>

===Description from the Preview===
 
āˆ’
''For ages, the [[Elemental]] Plane served its purpose as a secure realm to imprison [[Azeroth]]'s primordial spirits... until the [[Cataclysm]] ruptured its boundaries. Without warning, [[Ragnaros]]'s armies surged toward [[Mount Hyjal]], intent on burning the [[World Tree]] of [[Nordrassil]] to the ground. In the ensuing conflict, many brave heroes gave their lives to protect Hyjal from destruction. By their noble sacrifices, the impossible was achieved: the [[Guardians of Hyjal]] pushed Ragnaros's minions back into the [[Firelands]].''
 
āˆ’  
āˆ’
''Now, the battle to protect Hyjal rages in Ragnaros's smoldering realm. As territory is gained and Azeroth's champions edge closer to the Firelands' inner sanctums, a monumental task lies ahead. Entrenched around Ragnaros's lair -- [[Sulfuron Keep]] -- are his most trusted guardians, including the turncoat [[Druids of the Flame]] and their mysterious leader. Yet Hyjal's defenders cannot afford to shy away from any of these dangers. Should Ragnaros prevail against the incursion and succeed in destroying Nordrassil, Azeroth will suffer a blow from which it might never recover.''<ref>[http://us.battle.net/wow/en/blog/2682944#blog Patch 4.2 Preview: The Firelands]</ref>

==Encounters==
 
āˆ’
The first five bosses of the instance can be killed in any order, but after they are defeated the instance follows a linear progression from Majordomo Staghelm to Ragnaros. It is not exactly known how Heroic mode will affect the instance, but Ragnaros is supposed to have a different fight mechanic.

The major Inv glyph majordeathknight [Glyph of Disease] causes it to refresh the duration of diseases on the primary target before they are spread to the other targets. The minor Inv glyph majordeathknight [Glyph of Pestilence] can increase the range of spreading diseases by 5 yards. It costs 1 Blood Rune to cast.
