Coilfang Reservoir: The Slave Pens
he sinister naga recently began enslaving tribes of the Broken in an effort to bolster the naga's workforce and further their agenda in Outland. Nearly all of the Wastewalker tribe has been captured and put to work in the dismal Slave Pens of Coilfang, toiling day and night beneath the yoke of their ruthless naga masters.
Some of the Broken have seemingly accepted their fate. Others pray for the intervention of some outside faction to provide an opportunity for escape. Still others, shameless members of the tribe who see no other alternative, have found a way to turn the situation to their advantage. Mennu is one such example: a former Broken slave who has betrayed his fellow draenei and gained favor with his naga overlords.
Despite their differences there is one lesson the downtrodden members of the Wastewalker tribe have learned all too well: those unlucky enough to find themselves inside the Coilfang Slave Pens do not always find a way out.
Coilfang Reservoir: The Underbog
his teeming ecosystem deep within Coilfang Reservoir represents the caverns as they existed for countless millennia. Here exotic
flora and fauna have remained largely undisturbed, even from the encroaching naga. Many of Zangarmarsh's inhabitants have speculated that the
abundance of dangerous creatures within the bog has prevented the naga army from gaining a lasting foothold. Others believe the cunning
Lady Vashj has special plans for this surprisingly bountiful area.
Naga presence in the bog is minimal, but other creatures such as lurkers, bog giants, and underbats thrive in these caverns. Though these creatures roam
free, at least one of the Underbog's deadliest denizens has apparently been quelled by the naga: a horrific, three-headed monstrosity called Ghaz'an.
Coilfang Reservoir: The Steamvault
prawling pumping systems operate day and night throughout Coilfang Reservoir, built by the naga and their servants to drain the waters of Zangarmarsh. At the heart of this industrial complex is the Steamvault, where arcane technology drives the machinery used in the distillation process. To command the engineers who maintain and operate this machinery, Lady Vashj hired the renowned Mekgineer Steamrigger, a gifted gnome technician whose illness has damaged his sanity, but not his fierce dedication to his craft.
Given the strategic importance of the Steamvault, it is no surprise that Coilfang’s nerve center is defended by elite naga warriors. Their leader, Warlord Kalithresh, has an unwavering loyalty to Vashj that is matched only by his prowess in battle. He shows no mercy toward any who dare to threaten the security of the Reservoir.
Coilfang Reservoir: Serpentshrine Cavern
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.
