At Rockard, Nimithriel and Bok’theg investigate elemental rifts and tremors that precede Deathwing’s reshaping of Azeroth. Suspecting the Old Gods, they turn the Lak’gora toward Black Temple relics, forbidden research, and the mystery of a book calling to Bok’theg.
Roodaka proposes harvesting Black Dragonflight blood in Dragonblight to shield the Lak’gora from Virroth’s influence. The unit collects blood and eggs from the Obsidian Sanctum, but Bok’theg records that more material is needed before the rituals can begin.
Across journals, missions, and private reflections, Bok’theg’s Lak’gora pursue Old God lore and arcane relics while manipulating the Dragonmaw mage Klaes. Their experiments fracture alliances, expose fears of infiltration, and draw several members toward artifacts that may be influencing them.
After dreaming of an ancient artifact beneath the southern sands, Malosuerte plants a falsified tome to manipulate the power-hungry Lak’gora into collecting its fragments. Bok’theg finds the book and commits the unit to the search, unaware that its clues were designed to lead back to Malosuerte.
Nimithriel's obsession with a whispering Puzzle Box drives her toward murder and madness while Bok'theg quietly uses the Lak'gora and a set of ancient artifacts to pursue his own power. Their visions and schemes deepen after an expedition into Yogg-Saron's prison.
