||
| − | Hexmaster '''Zalazane''' was the greatest traitor to the [[Darkspear tribe]] and self-declared eternal ruler of the [[Echo Isles]]. After years of rule over the Darkspear lands, Zalazane's rule was at last ended by an army of [[Horde]] champions under the leadership of the shadow hunter [[Vol'jin]], chieftain of the Darkspear. |
||
| − | |||
| − | ==Background== |
||
| − | Vol'jin, son of [[Sen'jin]] and Zalazane's best friend since birth, was being sent into [[First Home]] while still a "young nobody". Unsure of himself Vol'jin convinced Zalazane to sneak into First Home and be tested by the [[loa]], thinking they would be strong together than if alone. Zalazane not knowing the truth at the time, that Vol'jin was sent there by his father, was more than willingly to help his friend. During these tests, both trolls were each granted separate visions of a possible future for their people. In those visions they learned many things, like that they would end up fighting each other to the death. Both the young trolls, having pass the tests and now able to see and commune with the [[loa]] were now what they sought to become. However, after leaving First Home, with each step they took memories of what they learned faded and only keeping just a vague sense of what was needed. |
||
| − | |||
| − | When the returned to their village, after thinking only a week had passed but was really three months, they found the village in ruins and many trolls dead. The ones that were able were building ships and preparing to leave. As Vol'jin most trusted friend and knowing he would do a fine job, Zalazane was sent with the first voyage to prepare the way. Part of Vol'jin balked at the idea and he didn't know why, but he felt that he should keep Zalazane close to him now.<ref>''[[The Judgment]]''</ref> |
||
| − | |||
| − | When the Darkspear trolls returned to the [[Echo Isles]], they were betrayed by Zalazane, the apprentice of [[Gadrin]] who had been driven mad by his own power. He used dark voodoo to rob most of the Darkspear trolls of their free will, forcing them to obey him. As his influence spread, his army grew while the number of free Darkspears dwindled. Fearing that all of his people would fall to Zalazane's insidious sorcery, Vol'jin ordered the tribe to abandon the Echo Isles. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Thus, the free Darkspear trolls left the islands and created the fishing village of [[Sen'jin Village|Sen'jin]] on the [[Durotar]] coast, just northwest of the Echo Isles. |
||
| − | |||
| − | The Darkspears and their allies frequently struck at Zalazane's holdings on the Echo Isles, determined to win back the trolls' first home on [[Kalimdor]]. But Zalazane had not given up in his efforts to enslave his entire tribe, and so he continued to send his trolls to the mainland in order to drag further Darkspears under his sway.<ref>''[[World of Warcraft]] manual'', pg 186</ref> |
||
| − | |||
| − | Though many trolls and other members of the Horde had journeyed to the Echo Isles to slay him, and a number had even returned with his head, a few days later the magic always wore off and his "head" was revealed to be nothing more than painted rocks, bunches of coconuts, or the head of an enslaved Darkspear troll.<ref>http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/info/underdev/3p9/echoisles.xml</ref> |

| − | {{RPG-section}} |
||
| − | Zalzane's backstory from ''[[Lands of Mystery]]'' conflicts with the information given in ''World of Warcraft''. The following is information given from ''Lands of Mystery'': |
||
| − | |||
| − | <blockquote>This large [[troll]] is draped in black robes and wears a black-and-white, wooden mask reminiscent of both [[necromancy]] and voodoo. Wrinkled hands grip a dark quarterstaff with a [[humanoid]] skull on the top. Zalazane, in his mid-50s, decided that his people did not need the help of the [[Orcs]] in order to succeed. He was further offended when he heard about [[Thrall|Thrall’s]] distrust of [[arcane magic]]. With the help of a number of similar-minded trolls — and summoned [[zombie]]s — Zalazane drove most of his fellow [[jungle troll]]s from the [[Echo Isles]]. He continues to attack the other trolls of the [[Darkspear tribe]], and his reasoning is unknown. The source of his knowledge of necromantic magic is equally mysterious.<br/><br/> |
||
| − | |||
| − | In combat, Zalazane begins the fight by [[summon]]ing [[undead]]. He then uses [[death coil]] and other offensive spells until he exhausts his repertoire, then wades into [[melee]] or retreats.<br/><br/> |
||
| − | |||
| − | Zalazane’s experiments on the [[Echo Isles]] had progressed far further than the [[Horde]] ever anticipated, and the [[troll]]s created greater undead, such as abominations. The [[warchief]] called for a full assault on the Echo Isles before the situation escalated.<ref name="LoM" /></blockquote> |

||
| − | |||
| − | After years of biding his time and gathering allies, Vol'jin gathered a great army of the Horde and - aided by the elements and the beasts of Durotar - marched on the Echo Isles. The massed army fought through the legions of hexed trolls until they came face-to-face with Zalazane himself. Fleeing across the Isles and gathering his foul magics, Zalazane erected a shield around himself, while he used his magic to turn the Darkspear warriors against their chieftain. Cornered, Zalazane boasted that he was invincible and that no living thing could penetrate his shield...at which point he was greeted by the mocking laughter of the great Loa [[Bwonsamdi]], guardian of the dead. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Damning the sorcerer for usurping his domain, Bwonsamdi brought down the Hexmaster's shield and then exploded him from within, bringing an end once and for all to Zalazane's evil reign of the Echo Isles. |

| − | '''Zalazane''' was a level 10 troll located in the Echo Isles in Durotar. During the Zalazane's Fall event, he was boosted to level 80 as part of the final quest. With the conclusion of the event following the release of [[Patch 4.0.1]], Zalazane and his minions have been removed entirely, in preparation for the Echo Isles becoming the troll start zone in ''[[World of Warcraft: Cataclysm|Cataclysm]]''. |
