Y ' Shaarj Y ' Shaarj ( pronounced Yah - Sha - Raj ) is an Old God , one of several malefic beings that were sequestered by the Titan s during Azeroth ' s primordial ages . Located in what is now Pandaria , the mantid race worshiped his seven heads . The Titans slew Y ' shaarj , but with his dying breath he cursed Pandaria by infesting it with " shadows of his former self " . The mantid seem to believe Y ' Shaarj may return someday , and if so , they will ally themselves with him . The official title of Y ' Shaarj is " Rage Unbound " , which is the nickname rumoured throughout Azeroth . The fall of Y ' Shaarj . As the battle between the titan - forged and the Black Empire waged across primordial Azeroth , the Pantheon became concerned that their forces might be overwhelmed by Y ' Shaarj . Aman ' Thul himself intervened , grasping Y ' Shaarj ' s body and tearing it from the surface of Azeroth . Although this killed the old god by tearing its body apart , Y ' Shaarj ' s tentacles had bored deeply into the crust of Azeroth . This inflicted wounds upon Azeroth itself , causing arcane energy and the lifeblood of Azeroth to flow out across the world . This irreversible damage was not enough to destroy Azeroth , but it became apparent the remaining Old Gods could not be killed in the same fashion , as the resulting wounds would destroy the world . Eventually , after the remaining old gods were imprisoned , the titan - forged labored long and hard , creating magic wards around the wound to prevent the volatile energy from leeching out and consuming Azeroth over time . The result of their labors became known as the Well of Eternity . The heart of Y ' Shaarj . Some time after the fall of the Black Empire , the titan - forged keepers of Azeroth began using the Forge of Wills to give life to Azeroth . During an expedition to southern Azeroth to install the Forge of Origination , Highkeeper Ra discovered that fragments of Y ' Shaarj ' s corpse had fallen , scattered across the landscape when it had been ripped apart . These fragments had infused the land with evil . The largest piece was the Heart of Y ' Shaarj . Ra built a subterranean vault to contain and neutralize the evil void energy which emanated from the icy heart , instructing the Mogu to keep watch over the heart and the surrounding lands . The Klaxxi . Upon reaching exalted with the Klaxxi , a faction of mantid that have turned against their queen , players may speak to who will tell them the story of the mantid ' s origins and Y ' Shaarj . Speculation . The " Seven Heads of Y ' Shaarj " possibly became the Sha , as their creation story is known as The Seven Burdens of Shaohao , especially considering that " shadows " were allegedly left behind by his demise . Kil ' ruk ' s assertion that Y ' Shaarj " begat despair " and " breathed fear " could also be references to the the Sha of Despair and Sha of Fear . Further , the pronunciation of his name " Yah " Sha " Raj " stresses the " sha " portion . His seven heads may also explain why the Old Gods revere hydra s such as Aku ' mai , also multi - headed creatures . Puzzle Box of Yogg - Saron . The Cataclysm expansion introduced a new item , the , which whispers to the player on each attempt to open it . While most of these whispers are thought to describe N ' Zoth , one describes a " black goat with seven eyes " which may refer to Y ' Shaarj due to the similar theme of seven eyes / heads .
