Comment by Orissan

She was originally the AV summoner who brought out the tree boss. She was eventually killed by a Twilight ambush (disguised as Horde) before a Horde peace talk lead by Hamuul, believing him responsible as she lay impaled, resulting in the breakdown of relations between Tauren / Night elves and the Night elves attacks in Ashenvale and Azshara in Cata, and the eventual druid tree going boom.

She now believes ANYONE who crosses her path was directly responsible for her death, and hence is completely insane.

Easily solo's as an ilvl 444 fury warrior on mythic. She does almost no damage just use CD's and go to town.

Comment by Sodal

Two named NPCs, a bird (Shadowfeather) on the first 'island', and a spider (Nightmother) on the second 'island' to the north, need to be killed before it's possible to engage Elerethe Renferal. All three are on different sections (islands) of the area.

Razor Wing: The bird buffets its wings, hurling razor feathers that inflict 807500 to 892500 Shadow damage to targets in a cone in front of the boss.

Raking Talons: Rakes her talons across her current target, inflicting 1900000 to 2100000 Shadow damage and increases damage taken from consecutive Raking Talons by 100% per stack.
She repeats this cast multiple times in rapid succession.

Violent Winds: Elerethe channels violent winds at her target, pushing them away and inflicting 213750 to 236250 Shadow damage every 1 sec to enemies in a line in front of her.
