Dungeon Journal
Zephon was once a night elf warrior who lived in the icy lands that would one day become known as Northrend, 10,000 years ago. He defended his home against the Burning Legion when they came, and led his people into the darkness of Azeroth's underworld in an effort to escape the Sundering. When his people became trapped in the Shadow Realm and were transformed into the arach'layn, Zephon's former nobility was twisted into merciless hate. Now he serves the secret plans of the silent master of the arach'layn, the Unspoken.
Abilities
Phase One - Champion of the Arach'layn
Focus — Zephon fixates on his target, attacking them and ignoring all else. Those he fixates on will gain stacks of Zephon's Gaze.
Zephon's Gaze — Zephon fixates on his current target, gradually gaining an understanding of his opponent and preparing a mortal strike. Reduces target's armor by 5% per stack. Stacks to 10.
Execution — When Zephon's Gaze reaches 10 stacks on his current target, he will prepare an attack to slay them instantly. Zephon will knock all players away from himself a great distance and then teleport himself and his target into the center of the room, with his target standing 10 yards away from him. Zephon will focus Executioner's Gaze on the target in the form of a beam, stunning them. After 8 seconds, Zephon will instantly slay his target. Anyone who moves into the path of the beam will be granted the ability Parry Execution.
Parry Execution — This ability will be granted to anyone who moves in between Zephon and the current target of his Execution ability. Using this ability will halt Zephon's Execution and cause him to Focus on the caster.
Blightsear Strike — Zephon faces a random target and sends a wave of flame crashing towards them, burning everything in its path. At 66% health this attack creates two waves that travel along alongside one another at 30' angles. At 33% health, it creates three waves.
Searing Wreathe — Imbues several random targets with magical flames that build up within the target's body. After a short time, the flames erupt, burning away their flesh. The flames deal 90% of the target's health as fire damage over the course of 8 seconds and absorb all healing done to them. Nearby players will also suffer fire damage every second equal to the amount being afflicted on the primary target.
Phase Two - Lord of the Burning Waste
At 66% and 33% health, Phase Two begins. It persists until three Blightsear Eidolons have been slain.
Zephon's Abilities
Burning Maelstrom — Zephon leaps to the center of the room and whirlwinds, setting the area around himself ablaze. This fiery aura protects him from all damage and causes nearby targets to take periodic fire damage and increased fire vulnerability. Walls of flame will move out from Xarosan in four directions every 10 seconds. The walls alternate between the four cardinal directions, then at 45' angles.
Searing Blaze — The outer edge of the room is engulfed in the magical flames of Blightsear. The flames will creep along the outside of the room, gradually causing the entire area to shrink. Standing in the flames will deal large amounts of fire damage every second.
Shard of Blightsear — Conjures three eidolons made from Blightsear's magical fire. When a Bligtsear Eidolon dies it heals nearby fellows for 50% of their health. Bligtsear Eidolons explode violently when they die.
Blightsear Eidolon
Blightsear Eidolons will be summoned every 5 seconds until three are present.
Flame Bolt — Strikes a random target with a bolt of flame, dealing fire damage to them. Interruptible.
Wrath of Flame — Blightsear Eidolon's grow in power whenever they are affected by Zephon's fire abilities, Burning Whirlwind and Searing Blaze.
Stoke the Furnace — When a Blightsear Eidolon dies, any other Eidolons within 20 yards are healed for 50% of their health and causes them to produce waves of flame that deal damage to all players for a short period of time. In Heroic Mode, Eidolons are affected at any range.
Liquefy Armor — When two Eidolons are focused on a single target, the target's equipment begins to melt, causing them to lose armor and take extra damage. Stacks to 10. Heroic Mode only.
