It is inhabited by a tribe of ogres, but also holds remnants of the original night elf population. Much of the ruins have fallen into the hands of forest creatures and undead spirits. Dire Maul is a winged instance, containing three wings (Northern and Western part connected, Eastern part not accessible from the other wings). In addition, it contains in the plaza a special PvP arena, similar to the Gurubashi Arena in Stranglethorn Vale. Every now and then, bosses will spawn in the middle of the arena, offering random world drops. East Dire Maul East has been taken over by the nefarious Alzzin the Wildshaper, a Satyr that has corrupted the Fruit of Fertility tree. Now producing vile (Item #18501), Alzzin has attracted all sort of corrupted plant life, Satyrs, Mages and demons to his cause. The entire section is overgrown with crazed plant life. This wing is requires no key to enter via the main entrance. The (Item #18249), which opens the doors to the other two wings, is dropped by Pusillin, an Imp who leads you on a chase through the instance before finally being cornered. Once you have the key, you can re-enter the wing via a shortcut entrance which is immediately north of Camp Mojache, and also access the two other wings. West Eldre'Thalas was once a fountain of Arcane energy and study. It used the power of the trapped demon Immol'thar, and to this day the west section includes the pylons that charge the demon's prison. It is also haunted by many Highborne ghosts, trapped forever inside the section by the force of the Prison. Tucked away inside west side one can also find the secret hideout, library and research center of Shen'dralar. Prince Tortheldrin, the leader of the enclave, will only turn hostile after Immol'thar is slain. Slaying Immol'thar is also linked to the warlock epic mount quest. North The Northern section of Dire Maul is probably the most interesting and unique. It has been taken over by a force of Gordok Ogres, attracted to the great wealth of the ruins. Groups that choose to adventure in north have a choice; they may decide to kill all the various bosses in the instance (several bosses, sages and the king of the tribe) for some guaranteed rare drops. Alternatively they can use a series of crafting, questing and sneaking tasks to perform a Tribute Run. In a tribute run, the players only kill King Gordok while keeping the other bosses alive, and as a reward they may receive higher quality rare drops from a tribute chest. They are proclaimed kings, which gives them access to some very nice buffs like (Spell #22817), (Spell #22818) and (Spell #22820).
