The Blackfathom Deeps are an instance that is accessed by a stairway and shaft through and underwater area along the coast of Ashenvale. The instance is an ancient temple dedicated to the Old Gods and now occupied by the Twilight Hammer cult. The cult has joined forces with the naga and corrupted satyr in the area to occupy the temple and protect and worship the creature Aku'mai.
The Blackfathom Deeps (BFD) are meant for characters level 20-30ish. You can continue to make loot and experience runs through BFD to about level 32, but by that point the experience gains are hardly worth the effort.
The MOBs in Blackfathom Deeps range from 18 elite to 26 elite. The quest MOBs are up to 28 elite.

The Blackfathom Deeps (BFD) are located in the north-west corner of Ashenvale Forest, just south of Darkshore along the coast. It is a medium sized instance for both Alliance and Horde players.
The Blackfathom Deeps take approximately 90 minutes to 2 hours, depending on party level and skill.
We have put together a map that shows the layout of the Blackfathom Deeps and marks the location of all the key named MOBs and the key locations. The map can be found here.
We have a gallery for screen shots from the Blackfathom Deeps that can be found here.
