==Background==
The sethrak once lived together as one as their loa Sethraliss would have wanted.Unlikely Allies Thousands of years ago, they and Zandalari trolls lived in harmony in Vol'dun and worshiped Sethraliss together.
During the war between the trolls and the aqir roughly 16,000 years ago, the C'Thraxxi warbringer Mythrax the Unraveler descended upon Vol'dun. He slaughtered trolls and sethrak alike. Sethraliss sacrificed herself to save them, but though she struck Mythrax down, Mythrax was still able to destroy the disc at the heart of Atul'Aman. After witnessing the destruction firsthand, the sethrak knew that something had to be done to prevent anyone from raising Mythrax again. Sulthis, Vorrik, and Korthek worked together to seal Mythrax within the great pyramid.The Keepers' Keys (Horde)
Following Sethraliss' death, the jungles of Vol'dun transformed into a vast desert, causing most of the trolls to abandon the region. This left only the sethrak, who continued to survive and thrive in Vol'dun, which they considered the holiest of holy grounds.
As the sands continued to spread, Korthek grew power-hungry and sought to free Mythrax, intending to use it as a weapon to conquer Zuldazar. He gathered like-minded sethrak, who became known as the Faithless, and declared himself emperor. The sethrak who follow Vorrik and still worship Sethraliss, known as the Devoted, have been fighting the Faithless ever since.
The sethrak appear to have inhabited the troll city of Zul'Ahjin long ago, before Korthek's betrayal, as the three Keepers are immortalized as equals there.
There is a sethrak incursion into the neighboring Nazmir, looking for shadow magic to power their Skycaller Gem.No Mercy for Sithis They have also destroyed the village of Dol'watha in Zuldazar.

==Notes and trivia==
*Due to the many similarities between sethrak and trolls, some players previously speculated that the sethrak used to be trolls at some point. However, Alex Afrasiabi confirmed in a BlizzCon 2018 interview that this is not the case.
*The sethrak are partly inspired by s. - "Here's a concept of the Sethrak Caves. We gave these guys a bedouin like feel along with the idea that they made their home in the caves to escape harsh environment of Vol'dun and to harness power hidden deep within."
*The sethrak make for the third humanoid snake model in Warcraft, after the naga and the slith.
*Vorrik and Korthek were present for the defeat and sealing of Mythrax roughly 16,000 years ago, and were still active as of Battle for Azeroth, meaning the sethrak are a very long-lived race.
*They look similar to the titan-forged refti.
