Swift Gloomhoof - Shadowlands Mount with Ursoc and Afterlives: Ardenweald Reference
Shadowlands

Today's Shadowlands mount preview is the
Swift Gloomhoof
, a mount that references Ursoc and the events of Afterlives: Ardenweald.
"The ballads of Ardenweald claim that the birth of gloomrunner heralds the passing of a particularly benevolent wild god. Seeing a gloomrunner is therefore a blessing and a curse."
Swift Gloomhoof
has a special bit of flavor text, strongly hinting at Ursoc's death as shown in
Afterlives: Ardenweald
. Thanks to tmptfate for emailing feedback this observation.
It looks like Ursoc's death may have created this mount, as the death of a Wild God means the birth of a gloomrunner. So in addition to
saving the forest
, Ursoc may have given us a free unicorn mount. Thanks Ursoc!
Shadowlands MountsNight Fae Covenant
Acquiring this mount is a bit of a puzzle as well. It drops from the rare
Night Mare
, but there's a twist as
Night Mare
is usually not targetable. You'll need to collect a
Dream Catcher
and use it in Dreamshire Basin to get
The Shadow's Dream
and enter a special realm. There are many steps required to craft a
Dream Catcher
as well, and you must be a member of the Night Fae covenant as you'll need to access the sanctum. Several intrepid users have discovered all of the steps, so check out their writeups on the
Swift Gloomhoof
page for full details!

Isn't Ursoc in the beta though? Like as the spectral BoP bear appearance? I thought I saw him in the Ardenweald play
That's Ursol, Ursoc's brother,
Wait Ursol died in Legion? I thought that he was still alive in Legion and helped us get the claws?
I think that was just his spirit we were talking to from the Shadowllands. Ursol and Ursoc both died in the war of the ancients but Ursoc was brought back in Wrath by furbogs if I'm remembering correctly. I don't think Ursol had been properly reborn at any point just yet.
So Ursols alive but not really alive but kind of is cause he was brought back but also isnt? That sounds about right for Blizzard
The character in Ardenweald is neither Ursoc nor Ursol, its a new character created for Shadowlands as far as we know that just uses the same model as Ursol/guardian druid artifact.
This. The bear ancient in Ardenweald is someone else.

inb4 "omg but i dont wanna night fae"
It is annoying how much extra attention Night Fae are getting.
Bonus mounts, the only actually useful weekly activity, fast travel with extra secret locations, dungeon skips and checkpoints, a permanent 50% movespeed buff and blink in rested areas, different forms for their covenant action, a FAR more unique and in-depth story in both zone and campaign.
Why are no other covenants getting this much love?
