About

They say no one escapes the Violet Hold. A group of Azeroth’s most infamous criminals is about to put that to the test. To break out of Dalaran’s maximum-security prison, these Rulebreakers will need to Prepare for any circumstance, use clever Disguises, and, when all else fails, Bribe the guards. The alarms are blaring. Magical defenses are activating. Warden Maiev is locking down the prison. In other words, everything is going exactly to plan. It’s time to make a daring Escape from Violet Hold!
