Lorewalker Stonestep yells: According to the legend, long ago, there were five suns that burned brightly in the sky. When the winds blew, their intense heat caused great wildfires.
Lorewalker Stonestep yells: Ah, it is not yet over. From what I see, we face the trial of the yaungol. Let me shed some light...
Lorewalker Stonestep yells: As the tale goes, the yaungol was traveling across the Kun'lai plains when suddenly he was ambushed by two strange creatures!
Lorewalker Stonestep yells: Crops wilted, villages burned, and families wandered endlessly to seek refuge from the flames...
Lorewalker Stonestep yells: For you see, strife feeds on conflict. When you have peace in your heart, strife will find somewhere else to roam.
Lorewalker Stonestep yells: However, when he let it alone, the beast shrank to near nothingness.
Lorewalker Stonestep yells: I beseech you, kind strangers. Cleanse this place of their foul presence! Lay our stories to rest!
Lorewalker Stonestep yells: Now, off with you! I require meditation before I begin the restoration ritual.
Lorewalker Stonestep yells: Oh, my. If I am not mistaken, it appears that the tale of Zao Sunseeker has come to life before us.
Lorewalker Stonestep yells: See how they pour from every letter of these sacred scrolls... corrupting them! Defiling them!
Lorewalker Stonestep yells: The fires, they are burning the library! Please, heroes! Purge this evil before the temple crumbles to ash!
Lorewalker Stonestep yells: The yaungol attacked the beasts with great determination and ferocity. Yet, the more he attacked, the more fearsome the beasts grew!
Lorewalker Stonestep yells: You have my thanks, heroes. You have given peace to this sacred temple.
Lorewalker Stonestep yells: You must destroy the source of the corruption! Quickly, before our cherished history is erased forever!
Lorewalker Stonestep yells: You there! In the rafters! My sacred library has become possessed by the Sha!
Lorewalker Stonestep yells: Zao has become corrupted too! Please, fight him with dignity...
Lorewalker Stonestep yells: Zao was a true champion of our people, how sad it is to see his story tainted by the sha. I am relieved to see justice served to his memory.

On BETA this boss fight isn't that bad from what I have seen.
First you kill the scroll, only takes a few hits.
Then two NPC's spawn Anger and Strife.
Both Spam a attack call Anger and Strife, these attacks can't be silence.

Whenever someone is attacking either of the NPC's they gain a buff that increases the damage they do by 10%, when they get to 10 stacks they cast a shield around themself and can't be damage for 15secs.
The basic strat for this boss fight "on beta not live anything can change" is that you focus one till 9 stacks then swich to the other one and you just go back and forth till both die.

(Edit)
I just ran Jade Temple for the 5th time today and I found another Event "calling of the Sun"
this is the basics of the fight.
5 sun spirits spawn, for each one you kill something happens.
the first one you kill summons a ray of Sunlight that does damage to anyone in it, it is randomly spawned in the room, does 20k damage every 2 secs.
the 2nd one you kill summons another ray of Sun light.
the 3rd one you kill summons "Haunting Sha" tank needs to pick these up.
4th one you kill summons a AOE under the Suns, Stay out of this and range kill the last one.
After you kill the last Sun kill the Haunting Sha's that have spawns.
Your "friend" that has been helping you goes Crazy and starts to attack.
He randomly shoots Targets with Dragon's Arrows and this does 27k to each person it hits, very healing intensive at this stage.
Tip: Save all cool downs for betrayal Phase so its less Pressure on the healer.

GL, hope this info helps.

This encounter has two possible variants.

The Trial of the Yongol:

Two mobs will spawn, Strife and Peril, who each have the same abilities. The strategy is pretty basic, attack one until its stacks get high then switch to the other, rinse and repeat.

The Champion of the Five Suns:

Five sun mobs will spawn, only four of which are attackable. They randomly attack party members.

When they die Haunting Sha spawn, which are tankable.

At some point (not clear on if it's a mob's death or a timer) the Sha will possess Zao Sunseeker, he will be come attackable and you must kill him. He is not takable and randomly shoots party members.

Comment by PriestessAur

After running this encounter many times, the easiest way to currently deal with Anger and Strife on beta , is to focus one mob down and completely ignore the other. Tanks will still need to get aggro on both. Once the first one is dead, than switch. Yes, one will go immune for 15 seconds, just wait it out. It seems counter to the fight, but it is actually less overall damage going out and easier to heal.

Bugged now: Zao is not attackable in the end and so the door in the rear won't open. This applies to both normal and hardcore mode.

Comment by Slanor

The Five Suns version seems to bug out fairly regularly. My group had best results when having the entire group stand in the middle of the wood panel.

Comment by Mormolyce

I remember you! In the rafters...

Also, I love the way this guy says "Sha".

Comment by vaothia

I have run this dungeon quite some number of times, and haven't seen the Suns encounter since the first week. Anyone know if they decided to remove this one and just leave the Yaungol in? I suppose I could also have very strange luck.

Comment by Reignac

I'm convinced Trial of the Yaungol has a much higher percentage than the sun one. Every time I've run it that is the only one I've ever done.

Comment by gifu

5.1 Sun's enabled again and still bugged. Have fun with your dungeon cooldown.

Comment by dizzzave

As of Patch 5.2, both possible encounters have been re-enabled.

Source for this boss perhaps.

THE FABLE OF ERIS & HERACLES

Aesop, Fables 534 (from Chambry 129) (trans. Gibbs) (Greek fable C6th B.C.) :
"Herakles was making his way through a narrow pass. He saw something that looked like an apple lying on the ground and he tried to smash it with his club. After having been struck by the club, the thing swelled up to twice its size. Herakles struck it again with his club, even harder than before, and the thing then expanded to such a size that it blocked Herakles's way. Herakles let go of his club and stood there, amazed. Athena saw him and said, ‘O Herakles, don't be so surprised! This thing that has brought about your confusion is Aporia (Contentiousness) and Eris (Strife). If you just leave it alone, it stays small; but if you decide to fight it, then it swells from its small size and grows large.’"
