Blizzard has just released a comprehensive look at the raid content for patch 4.2, The Firelands. Featuring seven bosses, the legendary staff Dragonwrath, and a host of new challenges for players, patch 4.2 will be the first new raid content of Cataclysm since launch. Players will take the fight to Ragnaros' domain, eventually fighting their way through Sulfuron Keep to take on the Firelord himself.

Players will be facing a host of new challenges in the Firelord's domain. Beth'tilac, the fearsome lava spider, will require players to climb on her webs to defeat her. Lord Rhyolith is a massive magma giant that is reminiscent of the Supremus fight in the Black Temple. The great firehawk Alysrazor drops feathers that players will use to fly during the fight. Shannox, one of the flamewalkers loyal to Ragnaros, is a hunter with some nasty pets to deal with. Sulfuron Keep is guarded by Baleroc in a moat of molten rock. Finally, guarding Ragnaros' fortress is Majordomo Staghelm, previously known as Fandral Staghelm, where the once-great archdruid becomes a turncoat, allying with the Firelord. Finally, players will face Ragnaros himself.

With this update, we also finally know the name of the legendary staff to be found in the Firelands -- Dragonwrath, Tarecgosa's Rest. A flaming version of Anzu will be available, as well as two other mounts. Patch 4.2 is heating up good!
