The Hydraxian Waterlords are elementals that have made their home on the islands east of Azshara. Sworn enemies of the armies of Ragnaros. Historically servants of the Old Gods, the four Elemental Lords served the gods with undying loyalty. The minions of Neptulon the Tidehunter were numerous and mindless. It is not yet known how Duque Hydraxis broke free of his lord's control (if indeed he has), or what is his ultimate goals are, but the Water elementals are the only elementals that do not attack the mortal races with abandonment.

Located on a remote island in the far east of Azshara, Duke Hydraxis offers some quests. The first two require killing various elementals in Tierras de la Peste del Este and Silithus. Increased faction with the Waterlords opens up additional quests leading into the Núcleo de Magma. Any items obtained from the Hydraxian Waterlords, are obtained from its various quests.

Completing the questline allows players to obtain Quintaesencia de agua used to douse the runes found near most bosses in Molten Core. This is required to summon Mayordomo Executus, the penultimate boss, and, after his defeat, to summon Ragnaros himself. Since there are seven runes, any raid needs at least seven players that bring a quintessence if they wish to finish the instance. Since most of the questline takes place within Molten Core, any raider can complete this task with little more than some traveling and an Cumbre de Roca Negra run.
