Maraudon is a dungeon located in Desolace (Location) which is designed for players in level range 46-55. The dungeon has two entrances; one where the players are starting close to Noxxion and one where the players are starting close to Lord Vylentongue. The dual entrances make this dungeon very unique, and meanwhile forcing the players to agree on where to start. The dungeon was released in the early days of World of Warcraft (Game), and the artistic look was very unique at that time. Later, in The Burning Crusade expansion pack, three new dungeons were added which contain similar art direction and themes - namely the Coilfang Reservoir dungeons; Underbog (Location), Slave Pens (Location) and Steamvault (Location).


The Nature Resistance Hunt

When the 40 man raid dungeon Ahn-Qiraj launched, is was necessary for guilds to acquire a fair amount of nature resistance equipment to be able to withstand the many poisonous damage sources, and since Maraudon featured a high amount of nature resistance based item-drops, numerous high-level players started to continuously run through Maraudon to get their desired nature resistance items.
