Adventure Guide says
- Zaxasj the Speaker assails targets from range while Fa'thuul the Feared strikes his main target with powerful melee blows.
- Whenever one of the members of The Restless Cabal loses 25% of their maximum health, they empower and activate the nearest Relic of Power.
- Stages named in the Adventure Guide: Relics of Power, Void Stone, Trident of Deep Ocean, Tempest Caller.
- Tanks: Swap tanking Fa'thuul the Feared to ensure that Shear Mind does not stack too high.

Overview
Adventure Guide says
Zaxasj the Speaker assails targets from range while Fa'thuul the Feared strikes his main target with powerful melee blows. Whenever one of the members of The Restless Cabal loses 25% of their maximum health, they empower and activate the nearest Relic of Power. Empowering a Relic of Power unleashes its full magic and also activates Visage from Beyond or Eldritch Revelation. In LFR difficulty, Zaxasj and Fa'thuul ignore the Relics of Power they have already activated.
