When he's defeated after Gholna, he says something like this: "I see... Shadowlands Arena... fight forever...." I find this odd, and since the beginning of DF this is the 1st time i heard this.
Killed them, and half the raid couldn't loot it, nor did it come in the mail..
That is every comment on this page.
Details
This roster comes from the current game client's data files, so it is not a complete list of every NPC in the game - older world NPCs that are no longer in the modern client are absent.

Vakan appears as a raid or dungeon boss. See the encounter page for its instance.

Abilities & Strategy
Overview
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 spells recast time and increasing the rate they gain energy.
DPS
- Avoid Gholna's Incineration.
- Avoid Vakan's Scorching Eclipse.
Healers
- Gholna stacks Searing Touch on random players.
- Vakan stacks Burning Shadows on random players.
Tanks
- Gholna's Burning Strike applies an application of Searing Touch.
- Vakan's Umbral Smash applies an application of Burning Shadows.
- While Gholna and Vakan are close together, they gain Empowered Rivalry.
