The Zaqali Elders are a world boss duo comprised of Vakan and Gholna. You can find them in Zaralek Cavern in Zaqali Caldera. The location is highlighted with an Epic World Quest on the map below.

Vakan and Gholna, powerful djaradin elders, are each a master over their respective element. Gholna, with lava, and Vakan, with shadow flame, are locked in constant conflict over who is stronger. Each elder attempts to outdo the other through devastation and chaos until one is crowned victor.

Vakan and Gholna take turns gaining energy to see who can kill the most players. Vakan hurls Enveloping Darkness at random player destinations that summons a Blistering Cyclone. Gholna creates Lava Geysers at random player destinations that erupt and continually inflict Fire damage to several players. At full energy, Vakan unleashes Scorching Eclipse while Gholna casts Incineration. When one is defeated, the other declares victory, reducing their spell's recast time and increasing the rate at which they gain energy.

• Gholna stacks Searing Touch on random players.
• Vakan stacks Burning Shadows on random players.

Strunraan's presence has been known to make the skies cry. His tempest electrifies the air and wreaks havoc upon the land. Drawn to the gale power, Strunraan now threatens the lands and people of the Ohn'ahran Plains.

Strunraan's gale mastery keeps any threat away with Thunder Vortex and Arc Expulsion. With his electrifying presence, enemies struck by his powers gain Strunraan's Tempest. At 100 energy, Strunraan will take flight and cause Empowered Storm.
