Adventure Guide

The nightborne astromancer Etraeus has devoted long years of research to scouring the skies of Azeroth, seeking answers to the great mysteries of the universe. His scrying has shown him worlds beyond our ken, and the power of the Nightwell allows him to draw upon the essence of those worlds to amplify his own powers.

Overview

Star Augur Etraeus fights within a stellar observatory of his own construction. At 90%, 60%, and 30% health remaining, he will activate his observation deck to project the raid through the nether overlooking different worlds, siphoning the energies of those worlds to empower his abilities in different ways.

Quotes

Court of Stars

The Burning Legion is entirely focused on the task at hand. They need someone with my vision to guide their future.

So many worlds must be out there, needing to be purged. Who better than me to locate them?

Sargeras himself shall recognize my genius. Will his power expand my mind? Or will my mind expand his power?

Nighthold

Aggro

If only you knew what lay beyond...

Grand Conjunction

• As the stars wax, so your lives wane!
• No mortal may acerbate the pre sets of fate!
• The stars align! Fear their portents!

90%

Such insolence... very well, I shall show you!

See for yourself the cruel, frozen void that lies beyond the margin of Azeroth's skies!

The stars have judged you, and found you wanting.

60%

The Burning Legion. Slayers of whole worlds.

Could we hope to resist? Can you?!

30%

Is that not enough? Must I show you the true horror of our reality?

Very well... witness what I have seen and TREMBLE!

Avatars of non-existence... knowing nothing but hunger.

These are the beings who will devour the future you so futilely fight to protect!

Thing That Should Not Be

No! I cannot control... the void. It comes!

Killed a player

• Return to nothing.
• You can not avoid annihilation.

Wipe

• What meager petulance. I expected more from you.
• Held by the majesty of the stars. You are nothing. Less than nothing.

Death

Do not think... the future will be so easy.

Outro

First Arcanist Thalyssra yells: Etraeus thought himself superior to... well, everyone. I confess I enjoyed seeing him humbled.

  •  Fel Impact  — A piece of fel debris impacts the affected player, inflicting 3520000 Physical damage to players within 5 yards and destroying any pools of Felflame it comes into contact with.
•  Fel Ejection — Creates a ball of fel energy which bursts, launching missiles at several players, inflicting 650000 Fire damage immediately, and 300000 Fire damage every 2 sec. for 8 sec. Whenever this this deals damage, it also creates a pool of Felflame.
