Note: This is the group mission for "The Madness of King Tormax". For the raid, see this quest entry. This is a group mission that begins with Noble Helssen in Kael Drakkel: The King's Madness. He is located en route to the throne room of Kael Drakkel (southern part of the zone). Pre-Requisites: - Level 85 - Completed "Deliver Us Unto Evil" - Completed "Them Bones" - Completed "A Cure for Madness" - Completed "Traitors Among Us" (mission) - Must have positive faction with Dragon Death Keep (kill frost giants and/or apparitions to increase it) You say, 'Hail, Noble Helssen' Noble Helssen says '_____, you have done well removing the tainted [weapons] from the city and defeating the Iceshards, but now the King's life is in danger. He is under the influence of the crystal, and if he cannot be saved, then Kael will be enveloped in his madness. If you can muster a [large] force, we can divest the King of the crystal's power. If you can only field a [small] group, still we must try!' You say, 'I have a small group' Noble Helssen says 'Good. Outside the temple the King still strides about, raving and waving his accursed axe, bellowing epithets at his visions of Dain Frostreaver IV and Lord Yelinak. We must [confront] him now.' You have been assigned the task 'The Madness of King Tormax'. The giants of Kael require your help to destroy the fear shard that is luring King Tormax into madness. You say, 'Let's confront him' LOADING, PLEASE WAIT... You have entered Kael Drakkel Mission. Speak with Noble Helssen 0/1 (Kael Drakkel: The King's Madness) You say, 'Hail, Noble Helssen' Noble Helssen says 'We have failed to wake King Tormax from his trance of rage. Every second he grows more agitated, such that we cannot approach him. He defends the crystal, brandishing his axe at anyone who dares glance at the malevolent thing. We have no choice: We must [destroy] the crystal! If you have not the heart to face such trials, [leave] now!' You say, 'Destroy?' Noble Helssen says 'Whatever the King may do, or whatever strange apparitions may confront us, we must destroy the crystal. We will fight the King if there is no other option, but we cannot let him fall in battle. Are you [ready]?' You say, 'Ready!' Noble Helssen says 'Go, adventurers, free the King from his madness!' King Tormax attacks. He hits for a max ~11,000; does not summon; casts "Banishment of Fears" every 30 seconds; and casts "Axe Swipe" every 40 seconds: Banishment of Fears: PB AE 100', Magic (-940) 1: Decrease Hitpoints by 25000 Axe Swipe: Directional 100', Magic (-940) 1: Decrease Hitpoints by 35000 Tormax can be rooted off to the side while you DPS the crystal and progress the task.

Speak to King Tormax 0/1 (Kael Drakkel: The King's Madness) You say, 'Hail, King Tormax' King Tormax looks at the temple grounds. His retainers watch his face and keep their hands upon their weapons. Slowly the King's faculties return. 'Against whom have I fought? Blood seeps from wounds I knew not that I had, and my hand is numb as though I have wielded steel against steel.' Noble Helssen shouts 'Forgive us your wounds, my King, for your mind was not your own. The brothers of Iceshard wielded a crystal of immense power against you -- against all the citizens of Kael. The brothers now lie in their own blood. May their memory be purged from our minds and records. But though we cut them down, we could not sever the crystal's hold upon you without force.' Yetarr shouts 'My King, you should retire to the Keep. Allow your wounds and your mind to mend.' King Tormax raises his hand and silences his retainer. 'My mind has remained long enough in idleness. Searching my memory is like peering through a thick fog: I see only flashes of steel and the faces of Dain Frostreaver and Lord Yelinak peering at me, mocking me. What has become of the city in my absence? Noble Helssen shouts 'There is much to recount. Many of our people are dead, and it shall be no easy task repairing the trust between the kromrif and kromzek. With your return, though, there is hope the city will not fall to fear and civil war. At your command, my King, we shall enter the Keep and begin immediately to repair the destruction wrought by the Iceshards.' King Tormax looks to Noble Helssen and creases his brow. 'Your words sting more than your steel. My wounds do not compare to those inflicted upon Kael Drakkel. We shall return to the Keep, but I shall take no aid until I have given it to the city.' Noble Helssen shouts 'As you command, so shall it be done!' Addressing the adventurers before him, Noble Helssen continues, 'Adventurers, you have proven your worth. You have saved King Tormax and the entire city. I hold you as warriors of great strength and honored friends of Kael Drakkel. When you [leave] here, do so knowing that we are indebted to you.'
