The Obsidian Sanctum

The Chamber of the Aspects was a place where all the Dragon flight Aspects met to discuss matter of import. In Wrath of the Lich King, this instance apparently holds the many of the last remaining dragon eggs with Sartharion, Shadron, Tenebron, and Vesperon assigned to guard the eggs by their Aspect leaders.

It is unknown which respective Dragonflight each represents. Please stay tuned for more information!

Lore

From WoWWiki:

The Chamber of Aspects (Chamber of the Aspects in the RPG and Novels) is a secret chamber where the five great Dragon Aspects would convene whenever they wished to meet. In The Demon Soul, book two of the War of the Ancients Trilogy, it was here that Neltharion revealed the Demon Soul, his solution to ending the invasion of the Burning Legion and urged the other Aspects as well as their flights to give up a portion of their essences to power it. Foolishly, they did so — and enslaved themselves to Neltharion's will.

Presumably, the Chamber of Aspects was located somewhere in ancient Kalimdor; the exact location appears to be a small antechamber beneath the Wyrmrest Temple in the Dragonblight of Northrend. There is a meeting stone in the center of this room.

New information suggests that the chamber was accessible anywhere the Aspects chose but was mostly done in the most remote of places away from prying eyes. However anyone trying to enter had to be flying.

In Wrath of the Lich King, the Chamber of Aspects will be the location of a single-boss raid encounter with the ability to add more encounters similar to Onyxia's Lair.

It is implied from its design in beta that there will be at least 5 bosses, one for each flight.

In build 8788 the entrance to the Chamber was modified to have 5 gate points each with two guardians of a corresponding flight.

Bosses

Vesperon

Vesperon is currently considered the most difficult of the three mini bosses in Obsidian Sanctuary. Generally raids try to do him first and progress downwards. He is located to the right, outside the instance and is guarded by two sets of adds, 4 Dragonkin and two curse-spreading large Dragonkin.

The fight is currently broken in game but how it is supposed to work is that you have one tank tank Vesperon away from the raid, as he does a shadow breath mechanic for heavy frontal damage. Soon enough, a portal will open and inside will spawn a disciple. The strategy is to have an off tank run inside the portal first, followed by dps and a healer, and destroy the add. The reason you must do this is because Vesperon spreads a debuff, causing 2500 shadow damage every time someone makes an attack onto Vesperon. The raid except for the main tank and one or two healers must run inside and destroy the add as quick as possible by right clicking the portal then return to DPS Vesperon.

Although currently, defeating the disciple will not remove the debuff and the raid must slowly dps the boss down, trying to avoid as much shadow damage as possible. Either way, the fight is very mana intensive for healers. When the disciples spawn, the tank should stop attacking Vesperon to save maximum health and use taunts to build aggro while the raid defeats the disciple.

The portals will spawn many times during the fight, making the debuff a constant. Ever member should be ready for the next portal to come up so they can get the disciple down in minimum time and continue dps on the boss. Repeat the strategy and you have one new Emblem, depending on which difficulty you are on the Emblem will vary.

Not defeating this boss in order to fufill achievements will result in Sartharion gaining the shadow debuff , which is very detrimental to the raid. It is suggested that if you are going for only kill one dragon, that you kill this one.

Tenebron

Located behind Sartharion and imbetween the two other dragons, Tenebron is commonly done as the second mini-boss in the Obsidian Sanctuary raid. He is usually called the add boss, referring to the packs of small whelps that he summons.

To reach him, you usually must complete at least one boss and two add packs going either way. The strategy is very similar to Vesperon, but the mechanics are different. As the last fight, he must be tanked facing away from the raid because he does a shadow breath frontal AoE. For this fight you will need two tanks. Once the event has started and the tank is in position, portals will soon start to appear. Inside these portals are eggs that will hatch very shortly after appearing. The idea is to go in and kill the eggs before they hatch, but the adds they summon are not hard-hitters and should be off tanked by an AoE tank. The adds need to be killed before the healer is overwhelmed and during this time the main tank should build aggro. With a decent group, the boss should be down in 3-5 add spawns. Congratulations, you have a new Emblem.

Not defeating this boss in order to fufill achievements will result in Sartharion gaining the ability to summon the whelps along with his additional adds. If you only want to kill two dragons and have no AoE Tank, you should kill Tenebron.

Shadron

Shadron is located to the right of the instance entrance and is guarded by one pack of adds. Raids usually try him last as he is the easiest boss and they can prove their worth by progressing from the hardest to the last, though some groups use him as the first boss.

Shadron is the easiest boss to defeat because of what his portals do. When the fight begins, he should be tanked like all the other dragons, facing away from the raid. When his portal opens, the raid is supposed to run inside and defeat the add inside. Defeating the add will stop a buff Shadron gains that reduces damage taken by a significant amount. The reason some raids do not do this because the shield lasts a random, usually short amount of time and is possible not to show up again for the rest of the fight. It is very much a leisurly tank and spank fight which the raid can enjoy regardless of portal switching.

Not defeating this boss in order to fufill achievements will result in Sartharion gaining the shield with damage reduction. If you don't have the highest dps and wish to go with one or two dragons dead, killing Shadron would be very benificial.
