[edit] General Information
Rallos Zek is also known as The Warlord. Rallos Zek is allied with Innoruuk and Cazic-Thule, enemy to Quellious and Bertoxxulous. The followers of Rallos Zek, the Warlord, believe in survival of the strong and death to the weak. The heart of a true follower of Zek yearns for strength, courage, but above all, victory. They believe that the heat of battle is the only place and time where enlightenment can be gained, that the universe was formed by conflict and in conflict it will end, with the victors feasting upon the remains of their fallen enemy. No respect or regard is given to the dead, for if they were worthy their hearts would still pump blood through their veins and not upon the soil of Norrath. The followers of Zek are almost exclusively warriors.
He is responsible for creating the orcs, giants, and ogres within the world. In the Scars of Velious expansion, there was a Statue of Rallos Zek that could be fought in the city of Kael Drakkal. Upon its defeat, one could fight the Avatar of War. In The Planes of Power expansion, Rallos Zek appeared as a fightable enemy in the Plane of Tactics and the Plane of Time.
Rallos Zek rules over the Plane of War.
Alignment: Evil

- A son Eriak who Rallos stripped of power after failing to warn him of the wards placed on the Plane of Earth

[edit] Raid Information
[edit] Plane of Tactics
The raid on Rallos Zek in the Plane of Tactics is a complicated four phase event.
Phase 1: Kill the trigger mobs (more info needed). The two trigger mobs must be killed at roughly the same time, this is generally done by dragging them along to the spot for Phase 2 and killing both together.
Phase 2: 20 minute timer. Kill Vallon Zek and Tallon Zek. They are similar to their static counterparts (more info needed).
Phase 3: 20 minute timer. Fight Rallos Zek while holding off his advancing armies. When Rallos is engaged during this phase, waves of Diaku will spawn and path into the room where he is. Once he gets sufficiently low on health (40%? Confirmation needed) he despawns and the timer for the next phase begins.
Phase 4: 20 minute timer. Rallos Zek the Warlord spawns in the "pit" area. Most people will mass TL to avoid the adds that spawned during the previous phase and zone back in, quickly rebuff, then drop into the pit to engage. Once he's engaged, many mobs start spawning in the pit, most strategies involve kiting these with 3-6 people while the main raid force attacks Rallos.
[edit] Plane of Time
During Phase 5 of the Plane of Time, Rallos is one of the more difficult encounters. Between his AE Rampage and spawning adds ever 25% of his health he is a major obstacle for most guilds progressing through the zone.
