ne of the most compelling features of massively-multiplayer games is the near infinity of things to do in them - content to suit many different playing styles.
'Raids' are assaults by larger groups of players on powerful monsters or dungeons and in World of Warcraft can include everything
from a group of lower level characters tackling a quest well above their level to the epic end-game, high-level attacks against

blood elves, to join its ranks, he eagerly embraced a scheme that the witch doctor Malacrass recently proposed:

grows more powerful by the day, hungry to exact vengeance in the name of its fearless leader.

Coilfang Reservoir
Level 70+
hoever controls the water controls Outland.
This is the law passed down by Lord Illidan Stormrage to his most trusted lieutenant, Lady Vashj. Shortly after the Third War, when Illidan requested the aid of the naga, a group of naga led
by Lady Vashj answered his call. Ever since, Vashj has displayed a fierce dedication to Illidan. Now the naga witch carefully monitors Coilfang's operations from her seat of power within
Serpentshrine Cavern. Far more at home here among the waters of the reservoir than locked within the cold stone walls of Black Temple, Vashj maintains a close eye on her minions and personally
oversees the draining of Zangarmarsh.
Whether her loyalties belong to Illidan alone, however, remains to be seen.
