The Botanica is the second wing of the Tempest Keep instance located directly north of the main palace (The blue crystal building). This is also the location of Kael'thas' commander: Commander Sarannis.

Background[]

The Botanica

The Botanica

Main article: Tempest Keep

The Botanica was once used by the naaru to gather samples of unusual wildlife from across Outland, keeping the specimens safe behind special safeguards.[1] When Kael'thas and his blood elves seized Tempest Keep from the naaru, they immediately set to work in order to unlock the power hidden among the native plant life of Outland[2] and reveal the naaru's secrets.[3] Now, blood elf scientists carry out experiments on the flora in Outland, how naaru technology can be used to create and manipulate living beings, and how all this can grant the blood elves new powers.

Red crystals similar to those of Bloodmyst Isle can be found in Thorngrin the Tender's wing, indicating that the Sunseekers might be looking into ways to manipulate their radiations. It is also shown that the blood elves have managed to boost the growth of Thalassian trees that they brought with them, and are also researching Olemba trees and Zangarmarsh's fungi.

Dungeon Journal[]

The mighty Tempest Keep was created by the enigmatic naaru: sentient beings of pure energy and the sworn enemies of the Burning Legion. In addition to serving as a base of operations for the naaru, the structure itself possesses the technology to teleport through alternate dimensions, traveling from one location to another in the blink of an eye.

Geography[]

All of the bosses in the Botanica are optional; you can fairly easily reach Mob Warp Splinter without killing a single one of them. You will, however, still have to clear a majority of the trash, so this won't save an enormous amount of time.
