betrayal of the drakuru in wow

In Drak'tharon Keep:after defeating Prophet Tharon'ja, the last boss of Drak'tharon Keep, I summon Drakuru for the last time, who is now very happy to be back in the once prosperous and noble Keep. Time for the secret! Uh-oh. A familiar portal appears, that huge Death Gate...

That's right, the Lich King appears. He is pleased with Drakuru's doings, how he created a new army for him. Just what did I do! And that's not all, Drakuru gets a reward too, he is transformed into a brutal fat troll with extreme powers. "Da Lich King be generous to dem who obey", indeed. And even that's not all! Drakuru's new mission is the cleansing of Zul'drak.

In Zul'drak

Upon arriving into Zul'drak, we see the once great empire in chaos. Half of the zone already transformed into Scourge by 3 mighty necropolises: Kolramas, Voltarus and Zeramas. The upper levels of the huge ziggurat are in no less chaos, the trolls there sacrificed their own animal gods to gain power to defeat the Scourge.

In Light's Breach the Ragemane Tribe calls out desperately for help, they don't understand what is happening to their peaceful village. Drakuru trolls are setting their houses on fire, capturing their soldiers and generally spreading chaos. There, in the destroyed village I found the Order of Drakuru which confirms everything. He really is here already and doing the Lich King's bidding.

In Grizzly Hills

It's Troll Season in Grizzly Hills and in order to get our troops to Zul'drak, to stop the Scourge there, I was sent to Granite Springs, a seemingly small camp to help with cleaning up some of the local ice trolls. But in the camp, there was this troll called Drakuru who really caught my interest. He seemed like he knew stuff, he even made a blood pact with me, then asked for help.

First, I gather some herbs to make an elixir that would help me summon his image at his pedestals around Grizzly Hills. He really was a leader of some sort around here. Ok, herbs gathered. So the stuff he knows is revealed: there were legendary artifacts that make Drak'tharon Keep impenetrable, unfortunately they were lost. Drakuru found some clues to their whereabouts but he was captured before decyphering them.

When I summon his image to the first set of clues, they point us to another shrine called Zeb'halak. Same deal there - of course to summon him this time, a pretty high ranking warlord has to die for his mojo - but now we also find one of the artifacts. Here he finds the location of the second artifact in possession of an excavating goblin. With two of the artifacts gathered things start to point to Drak'tharon Keep, should I "remove" all the bad trolls I would be awarded the greatest secret ever. Interesting! My last mission before heading in, is to find some tablets in a troll crypt with walking trollghosts shouting "Where's mah mummy" and stuff. Kinda creepy, but it has to be done if I want to know the secret.
