The Coiled Altar
Official Overview (Blizzard)
A mutated Zul'jan unleashes his new power by Coalescing Venom within The Coiled Altar. He wields twin axes that Sever players and destroy Coalesced Venom. Upon Zul'jan's defeat, Malacrass joins the fray. Malacrass haunts players with Dreadmarch, creating Manifestations of Dread as it resolves. His casts of Soul Sever hurt players and destroy any Manifestations of Dread in its blast. Upon defeat, Malacrass begins a ritual of Soulbinding to revive Zul'jan as his puppet, and claim what is rightfully his.
