According to legend, Terokk is the god of the arakkoa, a race of bird-men who reside primarily in Terokkar Forest – believed to be named for him. Terokk was once a revered hero of the arakkoa, and is said to have built their capital city of Skettis with his own claws. He ruled the arakkoa of Skettis for hundreds of years, until one day he mysteriously disappeared, leaving only his spear, his mask, and his writings. He is now seen as evil, denounced as a false prophet by a faction of arakkoa renegades led by Rilak the Redeemed. They are of the belief that Terokk’s actions – including the corruption of avians at Veil Lithic and the resurrection of the denizens of Veil Rhaze, destroyed when Auchindoun was annihilated – will damn the arakkoa race for all eternity. Talon King Ikiss, leader of the Sethekk clan that has set up shop in Auchindoun, has declared himself Terokk reborn, and has stolen the Relics of Terokk for his own corruptive use.

An island in Blackwind Lake, set in the center of Skettis, is known as Terokk’s Rest; it is here that adventurers in the service of the Sha’tari Skyguard can summon Terokk himself back into the world, and destroy him once and for all.
