Lore

Over a thousand years ago the powerful Gurubashi Empire was torn apart by a massive civil war. An influential group of troll priests, known as the Atal’ai, called forth the avatar of an ancient and terrible blood-god named Hakkar the Soulflayer. Though the priests were defeated and ultimately exiled, the great troll empire collapsed upon itself. The exiled priests fled far to the north, into the Swamp of Sorrows, where they erected a great temple to Hakkar in order to prepare for his arrival into the physical world.

In time, the Atal’ai priests discovered that Hakkar’s physical form could only be summoned within the ancient capital of the Gurubashi Empire, Zul’Gurub. Unfortunately, the priests have met with recent success in their quest to call forth Hakkar — reports confirm the presence of the dreaded Soulflayer in the heart of the Gurubashi ruins.

In order to quell the blood god, the trolls of the land banded together and sent a contingent of High Priests into the ancient city. Each priest was a powerful champion of the Primal Gods— Bat, Panther, Tiger, Spider, and Snake--but despite their best efforts, they fell under the sway of Hakkar. Now the champions and their Primal God aspects feed the awesome power of the Soulflayer. Any adventurers brave enough to venture into the foreboding ruins must overcome the High Priests if they are to have any hope of confronting the mighty blood god.

• Jeklik - unknown
• Venoxis - unknown
• Mar'li - unknown
• Thekal - Enrage

After killing Hakkar, 2 random epics will drop as well as the Heart of Hakkar. This can be turned into the Zandalar tribe for one of 3 trinkets:

• Zandalarian Hero Badge
• Zandalarian Hero Charm
• Zandalarian Hero Medallion

Turning in the heart also buffs everyone in Stranglethorn Vale with Spirit of Zandalar: 10% movement speed, 5% dodge, and 15% to all stats 2 hrs. Persists through death.

Spawnable Bosses

• Gahz'ranka
• Gri'lek / Renataki / Hazza'rah / Wushoolay

Gahz'ranka is summoned by doing a quest for Nat Pagle that begins in Zul'Gurub. Down by the waters there is an abandoned camp with a clickable box which gives you the quest, then you need to go to Dustwallow Marsh and chat with Nat Pagle, come back and do some fishing and then you can summon the boss.

Gri'lek's Blood, Renataki's Tooth, Hazza'rah's Dream Thread and Wooshoolay's Mane are required, besides a Punctured Voodoo Doll of your class, to create the epic class trinket, which is part of the Zul'Gurub class set. You first need to loot a voodoo doll from a hexed voodoo pile. Then you need an alchemist to learn the recipe by reading it off the tablet in the back of the edge of madness. He takes a blood of the heroes and a black lotus along with powerful and massive mojo to make a potion used to douse the flame. This then summons one of the four different bosses. Each of them only has two drops plus the quest item. At the moment they drop only one or two of the quest items per run. You can only summon one boss until the instance resets so it does take some time to get the four quest items.

Loot

Outside of normal boss drops, there are turn ins that can be done with the Zandalar Tribe for additional rewards. This loot requires combinations of Primal Hakkari items ("Paragons of Power"), Coins, Dolls, and Bijous.

• Paragon - 1 random Paragon will drop from any boss (except Hakkar)
• Bijou - random drop from trash mobs.
• Coin - random drop from trash mobs.
• Punctured Voodoo Doll - from actionable 'Hoodoo piles' scattered throughout the instance. These are class specific.

The rewards are class specific and follow this theme:

• 1 Rare belt from "A Collection of Heads" quest at any faction level.
• 1 Rare armor piece at Friendly requiring 10 coins 2 bijous and 1 Paragon.
• 1 Rare armor piece at Honored requiring 10 coins 2 bijous and 1 Paragon.
• 1 Epic armor piece at Revered requiring 10 coins 2 bijous and 1 Paragon.
• 1 Epic trinket piece at any faction level requiring items from the Edge of Madness event (Spawnable bosses.
• 1 New Amulet of improving quality at each faction level.
• Head and Leg enchants available at Friendly requiring a completed Arcanum, a Hoodoo doll, and a Paragon of Power.
