Rukhmar " Shadows gather when the raven swallows the day . Burning sky is extinguished as black wings fold gently about the heavens . Rest , my children , rest . For even the sun must sleep . " - Rukhmar ' s lullaby Rukhmar is the traditional god of the Arakkoa , the veneration of which was abandoned some time ago by some in favor of the worship of the mysterious master of the Sethekk cult . Rukhmar is associated with the great Arakkoa hero Terokk , and were rumored to be one and the same . However , this was proven to be false . History . Rukhmar was strong , youthful , and ambitious . She flew higher , ever higher , for she loved the feel of the sun ' s warmth upon her feathers . She would climb until she caught fire , but she did not burn . The flames cascaded off of her in long strokes of brilliant red and gold . The sky was her canvas , and her children were the Kaliri . Another god of the Spires of Arak , Sethe , coveted the favor of the wind and the warmth of the sun that Anzu and Rukhmar had . Sethe convinced Anzu to help him slay Rukhmar , but Anzu was cunning and cared little for the wind serpernts . In the dark of the night , he sent one of his dread ravens to warn Rukhmar of Sethe ' s plot . Anzu watched from the top of a mountain spire as Rukhmar and Sethe clashed . Thanks to Anzu ' s warning , Rukhmar avoided Sethe . She flew high , put the sun at her back , and dove at Sethe . With a flap of her wings , she split the sky upon Sethe like the crack of a whip . Sethe crashed into the spire where they fought with such force that it crumbled and fell around him , creating the Broken Spire . Anzu stepped into the battle then , pinning Sethe under his foot . Looking up at the raven god , Sethe uttered a dying curse : that his blood shall blacken the sea until it runs thick as tar , and his flesh shall fester and soil until the very sky rots with it . Anzu responded that they shall then leave no blood nor flesh and devoured Sethe whole , picking the bones clean . But a small trickle of blood escaped and blighted the valley below , creating the Sethekk Hollow . Anzu felt Sethe ' s hatred coursing through him . His body contorted , his wings shriveled , and he became cursed without flight . His mind was wracked with painful visions . Anzu had contained Sethe ' s curse by taking it upon himself , and he would grapple with the curse for some time before retreating into a world of shadows , for he could no longer fly . Rukhmar was absolutely horrified of the curse , and fled the Spires of Arak . She flew far away , to new lands , and created a new people to command the skies - - a people who would combine her power and grace with the guile and thirst for knowledge of Anzu . She named these people the arakkoa , in hopes that one day they would return to Arak and bask in the wind and sun as she once had . The arakkoa eventually were split into two races ; the High Arakkoa and the Arakkoa Outcasts . Rukhmar continued to favour the High Arakkoa , but shunned the Outcast . The High Arakkoa began a war of genocide in her name against the Outcasts while she soared above , but this only prompted the Outcasts to sink into corruption and darkness . On Draenor - Prime the rampage of the Orcish Horde led to devastating losses for both factions and the Spires of Arak , the High Arakkoa , and Rukhmar were destroyed when the planet was torn apart by Ner ' zhul ' s reckless portal magic . On the alternate Draenor the war between the High Arakkoa and the Arakkoa Outcasts is still ongoing with the Iron Horde , seemingly , largely uninvolved for the time being . But on this Draenor the Arakkoa will receive aid from Adventurers from Azeroth - Prime who will save their race from corruption and annihilation , though it seems Rukhmar may not be so lucky . Warlords . Warlords of Draenor reveals that Terokk and Rukhmar aren ' t the same . Rukhmar is now a killable world boss . However our attack on her was not provoked , so her fate in lore remains uncertain but it is likely that she dies .
