'''Zuluhed the Whacked''' was one of the few remaining [[orc]] [[shaman]]s within the [[History of the Horde|Old Horde]] in [[Azeroth (world)|Azeroth]], but due to his consumption of the blood of [[Mannoroth]], he did not embrace his true heritage and still practiced the dark magics prescribed by [[Gul'dan]] and the [[Shadow Council]].

Zuluhed was apparently the last, and only shaman to accompany the Horde.<ref>''[[Tides of Darkness]]'', 39.</ref> He was eternally loyal to [[Blackhand]] during his reign as [[Warchief]], and wished to remain so even after his death, so he pledged the allegiance of the small but powerful [[Dragonmaw Clan]] to [[Rend Blackhand|Rend]] and [[Maim Blackhand|Maim]], the sons of Blackhand: an alliance assumed to be broken when Rend pledged the [[Black Tooth Grin clan]] to [[Nefarian]]'s [[black dragonflight]], most feared enemy of the Dragonmaw.

During the Second War, Zuluhed received a vision of a powerful artifact hidden within the Redridge Mountains, and requested permission from [[Orgrim Doomhammer]] to locate it. Despite Zuluhed's apparent loyalty to the sons of Blackhand — his chief rivals — Doomhammer believed that the elder shaman acted in the Horde's best interests, and agreed to allow Zuluhed and his clan to find the artifact in question. Following the source of his visions, Zuluhed came into possession of what he called the [[Demon Soul]].<ref>''Tides of Darkness'', 40.</ref> He assured Doomhammer that he would be able to unlock its powers, but this proved difficult even with the still-formidable powers of the elder shaman. Zuluhed decided to give the artifact to his Second, [[Nekros Skullcrusher]], a former warlock, and with its power managed to capture the dragonqueen, [[Alexstrasza]], and subjugate her [[red dragonflight]]. Alexstrasza, threatened with the death of her children, unwillingly gave the Horde an endless supply of her deadly progeny.<ref>''[[Day of the Dragon]]'', 53.</ref><ref>''Tides of Darkness'', 137-45.</ref>
 
−  
−
At some point Zuluhed returned through the [[Dark Portal]] to [[Draenor]], and thus was not present when Alextrasza was freed and the majority of his clan destroyed at [[Grim Batol]]. He eventually pledged what remained of his clan to [[Illidan]] and enslaved [[Karynaku]], matriarch of the [[Netherwing dragonflight]], to provide drakes for his new master.

===Death===
 
−
[[Golluck Rockfist]], the Horde ambassador to the [[Wyrmrest Accord]], mentions the Dragonmaw's enslaving of Alexstrasza. He says "Zuluhed and Nekros are dead, but the debt we owe to the reds is far from repaid." This seems to indicate that he was killed by allies of the Netherwing dragonflight, as requested by Karynaku in {{questlong|neutral|70|Zuluhed the Whacked}}.

===Speculation===

{{speculation}}
 
−
In [[Day of the Dragon]], Nekros states that he answers only to Zuluhed, who is "far away," with the bulk of the Dragonmaw forces and later attempts to march to meet with his chieftan implying that Zuluhed is still on Azeroth. This would be impossible, as the Dark Portal had already been closed by this point and Zuluhed is later revealed to have been in Outland. Nekros was likely simply mistaken, something quite likely as he mentions more than once he had been unable to reach Zuluhed for orders.
 
−  
−
It is also unclear how the shamanistic spirits continued to answer him, despite having forsaken most of the orcs, although this may explain why he appears to be a warlock when encountered at Dragonmaw Fortress.

==Biography==
  +
Born in the Stonetalon Mountains a decade before the Battle of Mount Hyjal, Telek belongs to the Eaglespear tribe, a small offshoot of the Bloodhoof tribe that retains their loyalty to them, and fiercely opposes the Grimtotems. Raised in the traditional tauren way, to respect the Earthmother and to participate in the hunt, the Eaglespears settled in Thunder Bluff, high above the plains of Mulgore, when Cairne Bloodhoof united the tribes. Telek's elder brother, [[User:Joshmaul/Ublaz Deathspear|Ublaz]], went to fight for the Horde and was killed during an attack on Naxxramas prior to the re-opening of the Dark Portal. Ublaz later returned shortly before the war against the Lich King, having been resurrected by the Scourge as a death knight and freed by the efforts of Tirion Fordring and Darion Mograine.
−
Once you accept {{quest|Zuluhed the Whacked}} from [[Karynaku]], Zuluhed the Whacked will appear by the entrance to the courtyard you're in along with 8 archers along the top wall. You can reset the quest by flying/jumping off the ledge. Zuluhed will despawn and you have to abandon the quest and reaccept. The right side room has some "back rooms" in it; running into those back rooms will also reset Zuluhed (but not his summoned demons).
 
   
  +
==Touched by the Light==
−
Easiest way to complete it is to get a cookie cutter group of a tank, healer, and 3 dps classes. It's easier to fly up to the courtyard, but you can also clear your way up the path. Clear out one of the rooms either to the left or right of the entrance, then accept the quest and have all of your group run into the room and start the fight. About 30 seconds into the fight, he starts to summon [[Arcubus Destroyer]] a level 68 elite demon. His summon spell is has a half-second casting time so it's hard to interrupt. After 15 seconds, the demon will spawn and you have to deal with it as well.
 
  +
[[Image:Aponi and Ketiron, Eaglespear's Teachers.jpg|thumb|left|250px|Telek's first teachers - Aponi Brightmane, leader of the Sunwalkers, and Taeril'hane Ketiron, a Blood Knight Master visiting from Silvermoon]]
  +
After the death of the Lich King, Telek decided to explore beyond Kalimdor, and journeyed to the Eastern Kingdoms. Not comfortable with being around the Forsaken, Telek travelled to the blood elf city of Silvermoon. In the Court of the Sun, he saw something that would change his life...
   
  +
A group of blood elves had gathered outside a stately manor, watching with awe as a venerable nobleman demonstrated his powers to them. The blood elves were aspiring Blood Knights, and the nobleman was a Blood Knight Master named [[User:Joshmaul/Taeril'hane Ketiron|Taeril'hane Ketiron]]. Back in Mulgore, as the war in Northrend went on, Telek had heard about a movement of the tauren people, who looked to the sun as a source of power, much as their night elf allies called on the moon - the embodiment of their goddess Elune. What Telek saw in Silvermoon was a man wielding power very similar to what he had heard, the ability to heal or call holy wrath upon an enemy.
−
If you clear both rooms, once he starts casting the summon, run into the other room. Zuluhed will follow, but the demon, being in an empty room, will not aggro and can be ignored. Just stay away from the door to that room.
 
   
  +
Entranced, Telek watched as the Master demonstrated his art to his pupils. The Blood Knight neophytes laughed and mocked the young tauren, but Ketiron silenced them, sensing something within him. Switching from his native Thalassian to Orcish, the language of the Horde, Ketiron spoke with Telek and listened as his guest told him of the movement in Mulgore, about using powers like his. Smiling, Ketiron blessed the young tauren and hoped to one day see this idea become a reality.
−
Unlike Zuluhed, the [[Arcubus Destroyer]] does not automatically attack the party. It simply appears and sits there, not moving. Its aggro rules are the same as an ordinary [[spawn]] -- it will not aggro for the first few seconds of appearing, and then only if a player steps within [[aggro radius]]. That is quite small for a level 80 player, so one solo strategy is to stay in the same room but simply take a few steps back. If undisturbed, the [[Arcubus Destroyer]] will sit passively even after Zuluhed falls, and will despawn after three or four minutes.
 
   
  +
Three years later, the world altered irrevocably by the Shattering, Ketiron ventured to Thunder Bluff. By this time, Cairne had been killed by Grimtotem treachery, and his son Baine had solidified his position as the new High Chieftain of all tauren. The Master was pleased to see that the movement, now known as the Sunwalkers, had taken hold, consisting of people who not only used the powers of paladins, but of priests as well. As Telek arrived in Thunder Bluff to receive wisdom and instruction from Aponi Brightmane, leader of the Sunwalker movement, he was surprised to see Ketiron standing at her side, pledging to teach the new Sunwalker what he knew as well. Ketiron called him "Belor'malanore", the closest approximation in Thalassian to "Sunwalker".
−
The archers are a serious threat. Many will start casting [[Aimed Shot]], which has a long (over 3 second) cast but hits for over 1000 on level 80 plate blues. This will quickly cut down a player or party who dwells out in the open or stands too close to a door.
 
   
  +
==Ketiron's Successor==
−
Zuluhed also casts [[Rain of Fire]] which hits for about 1000 per tick. It has a very small radius.
 
  +

  +
[[Image:Eaglespear is Inducted into the Argent Crusade.jpg|thumb|right|250px|At Master Ketiron's recommendation, the Sunwalker is inducted into the Argent Crusade by Lord Maxwell Tyrosus]]
  +
After months of training and study under both his mentor Aponi and Master Ketiron, Telek became a powerful Sunwalker, skilled in both the healing arts and in the arts of combat. During a battle in Twilight Highlands, Ketiron was seriously injured, and despite the efforts of both himself and other healers, he never possessed the same stamina again. Ketiron's wife, [[User:Joshmaul/Areinnye Scourgebane|Areinnye]], believed that Ketiron had suffered a serious physical breakdown and suggested that he retire, as he had after the death of the Lich King. Though loath to leave the battle so early, Ketiron knew that he could no longer keep up the fight as he had in Northrend. Thus, Ketiron informed his leader, Regent Lord Lor'themar Theron, that he was retiring from active service and returning to Silvermoon to assist his old friend Bloodvalor in the training of the Blood Knight initiates.
   
  +
Upon his return to the Whitehair House in the Court of the Sun, Ketiron summoned Telek from Mulgore. Much to the young tauren's surprise, Ketiron held out his sword hilt-first, saying that he was to take Ketiron's place in the greater battle against Deathwing and his Twilight minions. Telek was horrified at the idea, wondering what thing had happened to the elf who had inspired him, but Ketiron reassured him that it was merely his desire to rest after having spent the better part of the last four years fighting enemies of the Horde. As a token of his training - as Ketiron had trained Telek in the Blood Knight way - he also gave him his old tabard, which had been awarded to Ketiron by his own master, Ordevaas Portalseeker, four years earlier.
−
If you are trying to solo this at 80, some classes can find this very difficult. The main threats are the archers, the demons and his [[Rain of Fire]]. To avoid the archers, clear a room in advance and run inside it before the fight begins - Zuluhed will come to you. Immediately step out of any [[Rain of Fire]]. Even with quick stepping, most of your damage will be fire. When an [[Arcubus Destroyer]] spawns, quickly step back out of its aggro radius. For a level 80, the rightmost room has enough space for at least two demons to spawn and still be well out of their aggro radius. Don't end up near the doorway. (Preferably have the demons spawn nearer the doorway so you can run into the back room to reset the encounter if need be.) The instant Zuluhed falls, loot the key.
 
   
  +
With his mentor's blessing, Telek departed for Orgrimmar to begin his service to the greater Horde. Travelling from Thunder Bluff, he made his home in Orgrimmar, in the Valley of Wisdom, a section of the city given to the tauren by Warchief Hellscream. Telek preferred it to the jagged metal spires of the rest of the city, which he believed were sacrilegious to the Earth Mother.

Touched by the Light

Aponi and Ketiron, Eaglespear's Teachers

Telek's first teachers - Aponi Brightmane, leader of the Sunwalkers, and Taeril'hane Ketiron, a Blood Knight Master visiting from Silvermoon

After the death of the Lich King, Telek decided to explore beyond Kalimdor, and journeyed to the Eastern Kingdoms. Not comfortable with being around the Forsaken, Telek travelled to the blood elf city of Silvermoon. In the Court of the Sun, he saw something that would change his life...

A group of blood elves had gathered outside a stately manor, watching with awe as a venerable nobleman demonstrated his powers to them. The blood elves were aspiring Blood Knights, and the nobleman was a Blood Knight Master named Taeril'hane Ketiron.

After months of training and study under both his mentor Aponi and Master Ketiron, Telek became a powerful Sunwalker, skilled in both the healing arts and in the arts of combat. During a battle in Twilight Highlands, Ketiron was seriously injured, and despite the efforts of both himself and other healers, he never possessed the same stamina again.

In-Game Accomplishments

Appearance and Personality

Belonging to a tribe that is an offshoot of the Bloodhoofs, Telek has white fur and white horns, and is still relatively young, having been too young to participate in the war in Northrend. Knowing little of war and death, or indeed of any life beyond the normal life of a tauren tribesman, Telek possesses a youthful innocence, one that he will likely have a difficult time breaking as he carries on beyond the borders of Mulgore. He is fascinated at the similarity of powers between the Light-wielders of the Alliance and Quel'Thalas, believing that even non-tauren were guided by the Earthmother.

The Sword of Taeril'hane Ketiron

Master Ketiron received an exquisitely-fashioned warblade for fighting in the Crucible of Carnage in the Twilight Highlands, the third of the great arenas lorded over by the goblin entrepreneur Gurgthock. Along with Saavedro of Stratholme and his mentor, Ordevaas Portalseeker, Ketiron had fought in the first two, the Ring of Blood in the hills of Nagrand in Outland, and the Amphitheater of Anguish, amidst the ruins of Zul'Drak in Northrend. Upon his retirement from the field, Ketiron gave this sword to Telek as a gift from teacher to pupil.
