Sha ' tar The Sha ' tar , meaning " Born of Light " in Draenei , are a faction of naaru led by A ' dal . Aided primarily by the Aldor and Scryers , the Sha ' tar are dedicated to defeating the demonic forces that threaten both Outland and Azeroth . To this end they helped the Aldor reclaim and rebuild Shattrath City following its destruction by the Horde , and welcomed Voren ' thal the Seer and his blood elf army upon their defection from Kael ' thas Sunstrider . Today , they are the chief architects of the war effort against both the Burning Legion and Illidan Stormrage . History . Shattrath City was once the draenei capital on Draenor , but when the Burning Legion turned the orc s against the draenei , the fiercest battle was fought there . The draenei fought tooth and nail , but in the end , the city fell . The city was left in ruins and darkness until the Sha ' tar , led by the naaru A ' dal , arrived . Khadgar was the one who contacted them . The Sha ' tar , whose name means " born from light " , drove the demons away from the city , they came to Outland to fight the demon s of the Burning Legion . Reputation . Both Alliance and Horde players begin as Neutral toward the Sha ' tar . Players can increase their Sha ' tar reputation through various quests , by raising their reputation with the Aldor or Scryers , or by adventuring into Tempest Keep . Strategy . Completing quests for the Sha ' tar is the most obvious way of earning reputation with that faction . Similarly , killing mobs in the three wings of Tempest Keep — namely , the Botanica , Mechanar and Arcatraz — rewards reputation with the Sha ' tar . There are only a limited number of quests that award reputation with the Sha ' tar , however . Once these are exhausted , the only way to reach status is to repeatedly run the Tempest Keep instances . Until Honored . Characters may initially earn reputation with the Sha ' tar by completing quests for the Aldor or the Scryers , including each faction ' s repeatable reputation quest s . Each such quest completed nets a reputation gain with the Sha ' tar equal to one - half that awarded by the character ' s respective faction , e . g . , completing awards 3500 reputation with the Scryers , and 1750 reputation with the Sha ' tar . These incidental gains stop upon reaching 5999 / 6000 with the Sha ' tar , however . Once this cap is reached , a character may only attain status by completing a Sha ' tar - specific quest or by killing a mob in Tempest Keep . Through Exalted . After exhausting the reputation rewards from Aldor / Scryer turn - ins and Mechanar runs , players may wish to complete the few Sha ' tar quests available . In addition to the quests , instance runs in Tempest Keep : Botanica , Arcatraz and Mechanar will continue to grant reputation . At this point , it is probably more worthwhile to run these instances in Heroic mode . Rewards . Reputation rewards can be purchased from Almaador located Northwest of A ' dal in the center of Shattrath City . He ' s standing below the smaller naaru , G ' eras , that sells equipment for Badges of Justice . Arcanist Xorith and Haldor the Compulsive will sell specialized Flasks only usable in raid zones to players who are exalted with Cenarion Expedition , the Sha ' tar and the respective faction ( Scryer or Aldor ) . The flasks are only purchasable with Mark of the Illidari obtained from creatures in Tempest Keep : The Eye , Serpentshrine Cavern , CoT Mount Hyjal , or the Black Temple . Quests .
