She somehow left her homeland, and came to the city of [[Zin-Azshari]], capital of the [[night elves]], sometime before the [[War of the Ancients]]. Once chief among [[Queen Azshara]]'s handmaidens, Vashj became one of the serpentine [[naga]] when Azshara and her followers were sent to the bottom of the sea during the [[Great Sundering]]. |

||
| − | Ten thousand years later, Vashj answered [[Illidan Stormrage]]'s call and followed him first to [[Lordaeron]], where she met up with [[Kael'thas Sunstrider]] and rallied his [[blood elf|blood elves]] to Illidan's cause, and then to [[Outland]] when Illidan deposed [[Magtheridon]] as lord of the shattered world. As leader of [[Illidan's Naga|Illidan's naga]], Vashj and her followers set up shop in [[Coilfang Reservoir]] in [[Zangarmarsh]], where the naga began to pump the lakes into their underground lair. During the [[Burning Crusade]], adventurers invaded the [[Serpentshrine Cavern]] where Vashj made her lair and slew the Coilfang matron, her dying breath an apology to her master. |

| − | Vashj was [[Highborne]] ([[quel'dorei]]) and rose through the ranks to become [[Queen Azshara]]'s chief handmaiden. She was described as "quite beautiful, with exotic, feline eyes" although she was still not as beautiful as Azshara herself. Vashj was fanatically loyal to Azshara and was infuriated when the queen offered to make [[Tyrande Whisperwind]] her majordomo. Vashj tried to kill Tyrande on several occasions, even pretending that she would help Tyrande escape from her prison, but was stopped each time by the intervention of [[Elune]]. |
||
| + | ==Progress== |
||
| − | Note: Vashj never encountered Tyrande in the [[Third War]]. [[Lady Serpentra]] and [[Serena Scarscale]] fought the battles in the [[Broken Isles]], and the force that defeated Vashj at [[Dalaran]] was led by [[Malfurion]]. |

||
| − | When Queen Azshara finally decided to make the naga's existence known, she sent Lady Vashj to establish contact with the surface dwellers. Lady Vashj met the demon-cursed [[Illidan]] and they struck a pact to aid each other against their [[night elf]] enemies.{{Cite|MoM|189}} Vashj and her people were quick to join him, and their first act of loyalty was to facilitate Illidan's escape from [[Kalimdor]], and bring him to the [[Broken Isles]] and the [[Tomb of Sargeras]]. |
||
| + | ==Notes== |
||
| − | But the naga knew that [[Maiev]] the [[Watcher]] would be quick to follow, and so Vashj rallied her forces and [[The Broken Isles|battled]] the night elf's forces as they made their way to the Tomb, where Illidan and Vashj then stole away into its ancient corridors. When Maiev confronted Vashj, the [[sea witch]] told Maiev that her justice had no place there, and when the warden demanded how she would know anything of the night elven way, Vashj replied by telling that the naga were night elves once. Then she slithered off to join Illidan in the [[Eye Chamber]]. Illidan used the [[Eye of Sargeras]] to collapse the Tomb, and then escaped. Vashj took the majority of the naga to [[Lordaeron]] to make preparations for the next phase of their plan while Illidan and some servitors remained behind to deal with Maiev for good. |

||
| − | After careful observation, Vashj saw that [[Kael'thas]], prince of the ruined [[Quel'Thalas]], was the perfect new recruit for the new order Illidan was fashioning. And with the ample forces Maiev had brought to Outland, Vashj knew that they would need reinforcements. Kael had been under the oppressive whip of a racist [[human]] general named [[Garithos]], who had sent Kael and his people on missions that any laymen could do while keeping the elves from the front lines. Kael first encountered Vashj when he found his shipyard ruined, and thus his means across the river scuttled. She approached him with an offer of assistance. Kael was hesitant, having fought the naga alongside Maiev at Dalaran—but Vashj insisted, and Kael accepted. Vashj watched Garithos' rage at Kael's dealings with her. But Garithos then sent Kael and his elves against an invading force of undead. Kael was eager to prove himself in battle, but Garithos recalled Kael's support, siege, and cavalry units to the front lines, leaving Kael with a very meager standing force. |
||
| + | ==Quest progression== |
||
| − | Vashj felt that the time was ripe to intervene, and so offered her troops to strengthen his own. Kael was again hesitant, but Vashj insisted that it was better to survive than to obey the word of a rash tyrant. Together they defeated the undead forces and recaptured their bases. When Garithos approached, Kael ushered Vashj away, saying he could not ensure her safety. She did, but watched as Kael and his people were taken away in shackles supposedly for betraying the Alliance by siding with the naga. Vashj infiltrated the [[dungeons of Dalaran]] through the sewer system and found Kael, killed his guards, and freed him. Vashj told Kael that escape was possible through the remains of the gate Kel'Thuzad had erected to summon Archimonde. She helped Kael escape the jails and destroy Kassan's forces, robbing valuable items from the magical stores as they went, and freeing his people from their cells. Upon reaching the streets, however, Garithos proceeded to assault the portal with his forces. Vashj, Kael, and some [[blood elf]] engineers raced to build defensive structures to stop them before they reached the portal. After a perilous battle, however, they were victorious and fled through the portal to Outland. |

||
| − | When they came through the portal to the shattered landscape of Outland, Vashj explained that it was once the homeworld of the orcs, but the Cataclysm had turned it into the barren, broken waste it now was, and that Illidan was somewhere waiting for them. Vashj and Kael searched fruitlessly for days, until Vashj caught a familiar scent on the wind. Illidan had been captured by Maiev and was being hauled back to her base in a magical prison wagon. Vashj and Kael battled Maiev for dominance, but finally reclaimed the wagon and brought it back to their base, where Illidan was freed. Illidan thanked Vashj for her loyalty, but Vashj gave credit to Kael. Illidan then told them of his plan to rule Outland by overthrowing the current ruler [[Magtheridon]]. |
||
| + | ==Patch history== |
||
| − | And so Vashj and Kael defended Illidan as he closed the dimensional gates that supplied Magtheridon with his reinforcements. After they were all successfully closed, Illidan's armies [[Lord of Outland|marched]] on the [[Black Temple]]. Vashj and her naga infiltrated the aqueducts and attacked the Black Temple from a side entrance, as [[Akama]] and his [[Broken]] destroyed the automated defenses. Vashj was responsible for killing the [[Mistress of Torment]] with aid from only a few myrmidons and snap dragons for support. Eventually, they battled their way to Magtheridon, and in a titanic battle, defeated him. |

Finally, they reached the Frozen Throne, and the forces [[A Symphony of Frost and Flame|squared off]] against one another. But, in the end, Arthas opened the doors to the Throne Chamber. Illidan was there to greet him, and the two battled on the face of [[Icecrown]]. After a short fight, Arthas defeated Illidan. |

Nearly all of the Wastewalker tribe has been captured and put to work to drain the waters of [[Zangarmarsh]]. 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.<ref>http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/info/dungeons/coilfang-reservoir.xml</ref> |

| − | === Attunement to the Battle of Mount Hyjal === |
||
| − | After the Sundering ten thousand years earlier, Illidan had taken seven vials containing the waters of the Well of Eternity in order to create a new one at the top of Mt. Hyjal. Illidan used three to create the new Well of Eternity, but it was not known what happened to the other four until recently. It was revealed that Vashj received one of these vials, as did Kael'thas. In order to access the [[Battle of Mount Hyjal]] in the [[Caverns of Time]], one must enter [[Serpentshrine Cavern]], Vashj's inner sanctum. The players must then slay Vashj and take her Vial of Eternity. |

||
| − | Vashj leans on her combat abilities more than her magic, but she is still a formidable sorceress. She is peerless with her magic bow. Her longbow, [[Frostfathom]], was crafted by the [[Moon Guard]] and enchanted by Queen Azshara.{{Cite|MoM|173}} Lady Vashj favors wind and water elemental powers when casting offensively.

||
| − | Lady Vashj, like all Naga sea witches, had turquoise/light blue skin, six arms, a long, scaly tail (which she jokes about tripping over it from time to time) with pink fins, and snakes instead of hair on her head, serving as her "extra" eyes. She had about eighteen snakes on her head, and one of them is actually a moray eel. Her face, is, however, like almost all of the other female Nagas; almost elven beauty. |
