Once you get going in the Wrath of the Lich King (WotLK) expansion, it does not take long before you gain access to the city of Dalaran. Once there you can enter a great little instance called the Violet Hold. The Violent Hold is an instance in much the same vein as the Stockades in Stormwind, it is the cities prison. Also similar to the Stockades, the instance has been overrun by the bad guys. In this case the bad guys are the blue 7 who are trying to over run the guards by attacking and setting inmates free in an attempt to break out into the city. Join Byron "Messiah" Mudry as he walks you through preventing the prison break in his guide to the Violet Hold.
The fourth of the possible bosses that you could fight is Moragg, who is a giant beholder. For those unfamiliar with a beholder he is the same as the large floating eye boss from Hellfire Ramparts. While he can be tanked, he also has a mindflay ability that targets a random player in the group. The damage increases the longer he casts the spell and you just have to heal through it.
You can find all the details in our Violet Hold Guide.
