Online:Maarselok

Maarselok is a Dragon located in Lair of Maarselok. His influence corrupts the Green, as he is imbued with a mysterious disease known as the Azure Blight. Maarselok seeks to corrupt Selene, a Changeling with close ties to Shagrath, so that he could shape the world to his liking with her powers.

For centuries, Maarselok slept deep in the mountains between Elsweyr and Grahtwood. However, upon the opening of the Halls of Colossus, this monstrous Dragon has awoken as a consequence of the release of his brethren.  Hungry and vengeful, Maarselok has ravaged the wilds and now threatens to spread his corruption into the domain of Valenwood, risking the infection of the Elden Tree if left unchecked.

;Unrelenting Force: Maarselok with target one player with Unrelenting Force. An alert will pop up on screen and whoever is targeted will see yellow lines coming off of them, similar to the ones seen when an enemy NPC is charging up a heavy attack that must be blocked. You must block Unrelenting Force unless you want to be knocked back.
;Summon Stranglers: Maarselok will summon Azureblight Stranglers to spit poison at Selene's spiders as they climb up the blighted vines to reach Maarselok. The stranglers must be killed so the spiders can "convince" Maarselok to come down so the group can damage him. Once he flies down, he will be shrouded in a green aura and stunned for a while. This gives your group the opportunity to damage him, and he will not fight back in his daze. Eventually, he will snap out of it and fly back up to a perch.
;Summon Adds: The rest of the adds that appear during the fight will attempt to distract Selene. They need to be killed so Selene can focus on summoning spiders to bring Maarselok down.

Third Encounter
;Summon Wyrm: Summons an Azureblight Wyrm
;Charge: Maarselok rushes forward.
;Scourge Seed: Maarselok infects one player with the Azureblight. This is indicated by an audio cue. Selene will set down a green rune on one of the stone circles on the ground. When she reveals the infected party member, they will glow blue. That person needs to run over to her ward and cleanse the blight with the synergy.

:Allanwen: "Look! Maarselok!"
:Warlock Carindon: "Another rare specimen."
:Selene: ''"Is there nothing you won't objectify?"
:Warlock Carindon: "Taking you apart has taught me how to put you back together. You'll be grateful for that as the Dragon's blight rots you from within."
:Allanwen: "Save it for the Dragon! Keep moving."
:Maarselok: "Ah, she's awake. I wondered how long it would take before you showed yourself, Changeling. Shall we dance?"
:Selene: "Maarselok! You'll pay for defiling this place!"
:Selene: "Unbind me, warlock!"

:Selene: "You'll pay dearly for all of this, Dragon!"
