Gelkis clan The Gelkis clan are centaur s who have made their home in the southmost parts of Desolace . They are mortal enemies of the Magram clan of centaur , a brother tribe also located in southern Desolace . The founding leader , or Khan , of the Gelkis was Gelk , second of the alleged offspring of Zaetar and Theradras . They are presently lead by Khan Shaka and the clan representative Uthek the Wise . The Gelkis hold no alliance with their brother tribes , but have been known to act both hostile and passive towards members of the Alliance and Horde . Approach with caution . History . Originally led by Khan Gelk , the Magram situated themselves in the southernmost regions of Desolace when the centaur divided into five tribes and have remained there ever since . When the Gelkis clan spoke out against Khan Magra of the Magram clan ' s notion that strength was essential and the tribe ’ s survival depended on their fighting spirit , arguing that Theradras always watches over the centaur and will keep the tribes safe and alive , an eternal feud between the two tribes was born . As such the Gelkis are more civilized — or as close as centaur can come to civilized - than their brethren , with an organised social structure and a firm grasp of the Common tongue . While the Magram only respect strength , the Gelkis respect nature and their birthmother Theradras , calling upon her protection and the power of earth to maintain their existence . Though the Magram view this as weak it would seem to be an erroneous view , as Earth Elemental s can be sighted in Gelkis Village , putting an end to unwelcome intruders alongside their centaur masters . Settlements . Gelkis Village is located just to the east and slightly south of Shadowprey Village in southwestern Desolace . It is the principal village of the Gelkis , and is situated in a ring around a large ravine . A cluster of cliffs and bluffs in the ravine are connected by a series of bridges and lead to a cave in the southern mountain face of Desolace . The Gelkis khan resides within this cave . The entire village is directly adjacent to Desolace ' s main north - south road and is thus a hazard for many travelers . Magram vs . Gelkis . The clashing cultural values of the Magram and Gelkis are the founding reason for their animosity towards one another , and it has only spiraled downwards since their initial disagreement . The Gelkis representative Uthek the Wise , stationed just northwest of the main village in a small tent on the borders of Gelkis territory , recruits foreign aid to strike against the Magram and organizes strategic missions - not all involving violence - to weaken them . Uthek also sends foreign assistance to combat the Kolkar and Maraudine clans . Cataclysm . Oddly enough , the Gelkis and Magram centaurs are no longer factions , now being hostile mobs . Khan Shaka was also replaced with Khan Shodo . Reputation . In order to be deemed worthy of the Gelkis ' trust , adventurers must gain reputation with the tribe by slaying members of the Magram until they reach status with the Gelkis . Each kill gives 5 / 20 / 25 reputation to the Gelkis faction and lowers the reputation of the Magram by 25 / 100 / 125 . As of April 2009 , kills reward full reputation , even at level 80 . Previously , if mobs were at grey difficulty , they only awarded 1 / 5 reputation , however this appears to have been changed . By far the most straightforward , if slow , way to gain reputation with the Gelkis is to camp next to Warug of the Magram . While he cannot be attacked , Warug ' s Bodyguard s can and reward 5 Gelkis rep / - 25 Magram rep per kill . What ' s more , they continually respawn to ensure that Warug always has two bodyguards , saving one from having to roam around the camp looking for victims . Note that this seems to be bugged , and occasionally the guards will spawn as Friendly and unattackable even at low faction rep with the war flag turned on . Reputation with the Gelkis caps at , or one point below . By saving quests till the player is capped higher values can be attained . The highest level reached is . In earlier builds a player could become friendly or higher with both Centaur clans at the same time , by having someone else in a party kill a member of the Gelkis or Magram , which would cause the player to gain reputation with one Centaur clan , while not losing reputation with the other . As of patch 2 . 2 , the player will gain and lose reputation regardless of who in the party actually does the killing . Classes . The current known classes within the Gelkis clan are :
