New Zone in Shadowlands Patch 9.2: Eternity's End
New Zone - Zereth Mortis
A brand new outdoor zone in the edgy of reality, Zereth Mortis is the forbidden realm of the First Ones. Zereth Mortis is considered a workshop to the First Ones, where they create the afterlives souls go to in the Shadowlands. Zereth Mortis will be the main story content of Patch 9.2.
Information about Zereth Mortis is still limited, but here are some things we know so far.:
There are seven stages of content unlocks.
Content includes World Quests and Daily Quests. These new daily activities unlock after completing Chapter 3 of the new Campaign 9.2 chapter.
The Enlightened are the new faction in Zereth Mortis:
The Enlightened are a Broker faction that discovered Zereth Mortis long ago and have since abandoned the usual transactional ways of the brokers. Instead of seeking opportunity and profit, they now see Zereth Mortis as a sacred place and will do everything in their power to seek and protect the knowledge bound within the zone.
There will be new rares and treasures to discover in Zereth Mortis.
Flying in Zereth Mortis in Patch 9.2
Initially, all players will be ground-bound in Zereth Mortis. Flying in Zereth Mortis can be obtained on completion of the achievement  Unlocking the Secrets, which requires completing a series of tasks within the new 9.2 zone. For more information, check our Zereth Mortis flying guide!
New Progression System - Cypher of the First Ones
In Patch 9.2, Renown Progression is substituted by a new progression system, the Cypher of the First Ones - The Automa, denizens of Zereth Mortis, communicate using this alphabet and as we learn and decipher this new language, we will gain new powers used to help bring the Jailer down. Cypher of the First Ones is one of the main systems in Patch 9.2 which can be used to help with exploration in Zereth Mortis and enabled thanks to Pocopoc, a friendly and customizable companion that unlocks near the end of the third chapter, Forming an Understanding.
The Cypher system is intended to improve your experience only within Zereth Mortis, and provides no power for any dungeons, raids, or other zones. This uses a new currency,  Cyphers of the First Ones, earned through completing daily quests. These are used to upgrade Pocopoc and its systems, with four talent trees: Metrial, Aealic, Dealic, and Trebalim. Each tier has an introduction talent that must be researched before advancing on other talents to that tree and progressing on.
Once you completing the Cypher of the First Ones talent  Cachial Understanding, you will be able to see and interact with 3-4 puzzle boxes around Zereth Mortis every day. Completing these puzzles rewards 2-4  Cyphers of the First Ones.For more indepth information on the Cypher of the First Ones system, check our overview!

New Reputation - The Enlightened
The Enlightened are brokers that arrived on Zereth Mortis a long time ago. They no longer see their world in a transactional manner, but instead they treat their dwelling as a sacred place, and hope to answer to a higher calling—the pursuit of knowledge. Find common ground with The Enlightened to succeed and defend Zereth Mortis.
The Enlightened has several interesting reputation rewards like an account-wide Covenant Legendary Memory, the infinite Shadowlands Augment Rune, and much more. For more information, check our reputation guide!
New 9.2 Campaign Chapters in Patch 9.2
There will be a new Campaign in 9.2 with 7 chapters.
For players who completed the first three chapters, there will be a skip available for any alts that follow. Once one characters has completed the third chapter, subsequent characters can pick up the first quest  Call of the Primus and then talk to Tal-Inara to skip the storyline. This also unlocks Pocopoc and the Cypher of the First Ones System for those characters.
New World Boss in Patch 9.2 - Antros, Keeper of the Antecedents
Antros, Keeper of the Antecedents is a new world boss in Patch 9.2. Located on Antecedent Isle all the way north in Zereth Mortis, Antros drops ilvl259 gear and Conduits.
New Torghast Wing: Jailer's Gauntlet
Patch 9.2 introduces a new type of Torghast encounter with the Jailer's Gauntlet, aka "Boss Rush". Instead of long levels of trash with trash, traps, puzzles, and events, this fast and furious method is a series of quick boss fights in small packs. Completing layers of the Jailer's Gauntlet gives rewards such as a pet, new Hearthstone toy, a title, and the  Colossal Ebonclaw Mawrat mount.
Comprised of eight single-room levels featuring small groups of level 60-62 Elites. These are familiar normal Elites, Silver Rare Elites, and Wing Bosses from regular Torghast.
Does not include Box of Many Things, traps, puzzles, events, Ashen Phylacteries, large numbers of trash packs, mawrats, or Souls to rescue.
Difficulty goes up to Layer 8, with special rewards for completing even-numbered Layers. Layer progress is accountwide.
Layers will award large amounts of  Soul Ash, with  Soul Cinders starting at Layer 2 -- more than a typical Torghast run. This makes it a nice catch-up mechanism for characters who still need to advance Legendaries to 235.
Offers a faster pace, with high numbers of high-level Anima powers to make things easier as you go!
Players can enter Jailer's Gauntlet starting at level 60. This is accessed via a new portal just west of the entrance to the Twisting Corridors.
