Meet Tenris Mirkblood, a new Kara boss, possibly for the Scourge event

But there are a few quests surrounding the boss as well -- for more on how he might be included in the game during the world event (including possible spoilers), hit the link below.
Apparently the quest to find Tenris come from an Argent Dawn emissary (which haven't yet appeared on the servers as of this writing -- all we've got so far are Argent Dawn healers to try and get that plague off). The emissary tells you that there is a new threat within Karazhan, not from Medivh or the Burning Legion, but from the Scourge itself. He then sends you to the Servants' Quarters (where the animal bosses are, and where most Kara raids don't go much anymore) to find Tenris and see what's going on (read: kill him). The quest gives a trinket called the "Monster Slayer's kit" which looks like it provides a random attack in the form of a monster.
The quest, unlike the actual boss or NPC, is apparently in the game at the moment (as a file, not as a doable quest yet), so there is a ring of truth to all of this, but seeing all these things now is kind of like looking at an unsolved jigsaw puzzle -- there are a lot of colorful pieces in there, but we still can't see the actual picture yet. Stay tuned, though -- our countdown is counting ever closer to Wrath's release, and the world event (which is already awesome) keeps ratcheting up.

You can open the gate to the Crypts as a zombie.

Confirmed this on Emerald Dream-US. Zombie can open the gate, but they can't go past it. Haven't checked to see if anyone else can go down there yet.

The Monster Slayer's kit reminds me a lot of Six Demon Bag http://thottbot.com/i7734.

You know what ol' Jack Burton always says at a time like this?

When some wild-eyed, eight-foot-tall maniac grabs your neck, taps the back of your favorite head up against the barroom wall, and he looks you crooked in the eye and he asks you if ya paid your dues, you just stare that big sucker right back in the eye, and you remember what ol' Jack Burton always says at a time like that: "Have ya paid your dues, Jack?" "Yessir, the check is in the mail."

Egg Shen: Can see things no one else can see. Do things no one else can do.
Jack Burton: Real things?
Egg Shen: As real as Lo Pan!
Jack Burton: Hey, what more can a guy ask for?
Egg Shen: Oh, the six-demon bag!
Jack Burton: Terrific, a six-demon bag. Sensational. What's in it, Egg?
Egg Shen: Wind, fire, all that kind of thing!

As much as I want to kill this guy.. NO MORE KARA! I'm sick of that place!

Wowhead has the spells for the random attacks. Axe, knife, water, and Holy Symbol. Man, I hope I save up enough hearts to keep those flying for a while.
Now if the Vampire drops a whip, I'm in heaven.

A Castlevania reference? now the weekend can really begin.
Linkage Oct 24th 2008 2:53PM
So, any guesses as to the last name of the Argent Dawn Emissary giving the quest?
Kanuris Oct 24th 2008 4:58PM
Urge to play Castlevania rising....

Seems everyone has overlooked the Anagram in the name:
"Tenris Mirkblood" "Is Riktor Belmond"
Not the exact translation in the name, but it wouldn't be the first time Blizzard has played with names to make an anagram.

The Monster Slayer kit puts me in mind of the various subweapons from Castlevania :) looks like it'll be a fun little bonus.

i agree with deefy.. no more kara please
or at least make the guy appear in the room to the right of entering or something
seems like you would have to down madien and morose or however you spell his name, if you didnt know the fight and would be wiping. otherwise you would have trash to deal with.
no more kara please. just another excuse for guild alts to want to run the place.
