Befallen
Levels 4–25 Dungeon Guide Availablebefallen
Before the plague of undeath took it, Befallen was a temple outpost of Marr's faithful on the edge of the Commonlands. Something below the sanctum went wrong — the histories disagree on what — and the tower sank into the earth, its clergy rising again as the skeletons, mummies, and revenants that stalk its halls today. Necromancers of the Dead came later, drawn to the corruption like flies, and in Legends the Teir`Dal have moved into the deepest halls in force. It remains what it has always been: the classic first dungeon crawl for anyone leaving the Commonlands, and a rite of passage for paladins and clerics who came to burn the dead.

Zone guide
Why come here
- Dense undead make it the single best paladin/cleric leveling dungeon of its range — every anti-undead tool in your book works here.
- The Teir`Dal in the depths drop the Enchanted Fine Steel weapon family and Ebon Scythe — gear most melee carry into their upper 40s.
- Tight quarters and instanced tiers mean no camp competition in Legends — your group owns the floor you're on.
- Bone chips by the stack for Kaladim/Kelethin turn-in quests, and steady coin from fine steel vendor loot.
Dangers
- Trains cascade fast in the narrow corridors — a bad pull on the second floor can bring half the level. Fight near the stairs and know your exit.
- Mummies carry disease; bring cure potions or a friend who can cast Cure Disease, because the DoT outlasts most low-level fights.
- Sitting to med aggros nearby undead through walls more readily than you'd expect — med in cleared corners only.
- In Legends the deepest floor is Teir`Dal territory — casters with real spell lists, not shambling melee. Treat every pull as a caster pull.
🗝 Keys & locked doors
- Three locked doors gate the descent; each floor's key drops on the floor above it.
- The Splintered Wooden Key (first door) drops from the shadowknights near the well — or a rogue with Pick Lock (11+) can skip it entirely.
- Classic key names are being re-verified in Legends — if you loot a key with a different name, send it through the correction form.
Getting there
From West Commonlands, hug the southern wall heading east — the entrance is a half-hidden stone tunnel that drops you into the tower's top floor. Casters can bind just outside; there is no bind inside the dungeon.
Good to know
- Three descending levels — the deeper you go, the higher the level and the denser the undead.
- Locked doors bar the lower levels; the keys drop from mobs inside the dungeon (classic baseline — verify key names in Legends).
- In Legends, Befallen runs as tiered instances — Adaptive, Refined, and Awakened labels observed in play. Tiers change difficulty, not the spawn roster (raids are the exception) — Asaka L`Rei, the Teir`Dal, and Skeleton L`rodd are the Legends spawn set at every tier.
