Rastakhan

Background Story


God King Rastakhan (pronounced "RAH-stuh-kawn") was the ruler of the Zandalari Empire. Blessed by the loa Rezan with a long life, swift healing, and strength beyond most trolls, his kingdom was threatened by multiple parties, including his own Zanchuli Council. His daughter, Talanji, reached out to the Horde to help the Zandalari, despite Rastakhan's constant denial. Talanji's efforts were eventually rewarded, and eliminated the blood troll threat, called out the traitor Jakra'zet, and undid the schemes of the Zanchuli Council. The Prophet Zul nonetheless managed to set his plan in motion and launched a massive assault on the capital of Zuldazar, destroying the Great Seal of the palace with Mythrax the Unraveler. Rastakhan, having made a pact with Bwonsamdi after Rezan's death to save his kingdom, eventually died in the defense of his kingdom in a massive attack from the Alliance known as the Battle of Dazar'alor.
Rastakhan once ruled with an iron fist, and none dared to break his laws. But he was also just helping those in need, so his subjects loved him for it. But at the times of the Zandalari civil war, his rule had weakened as he spent more time trusting his plotting advisors.
"You stand before King Rastakhan!"

Such a shame what BFA has done to Rastakhan. The king of all trolls on Azeroth, touted as wise, strong and visionary leader and such, yet the way he was portrayed made him look like a naive idiot. Putting all faith in a random dude because his daughter said he was cool, got stabbed in the back by Zul, let his kingdom collapse not long after Horde arrived and had to bargain with Bob Salami for it, and then got killed by 20 random blue dudes (fate of all WoW characters i suppose, to die as raid bosses).

Wonderful model tho, amazing work as always :)
