13th Anniversary
It is currently the 13th Anniversary for WoW until the end of the month, and it brings with it new quests and new rewards:
WoW's 13th Anniversary has a quest The Originals, to defeat Blasted Lands Lord Kazzak, Azuregos, and the four Green Dragons for 50 and a chance at ilvl 900 loot which can titanforge to 915.
Boss Overview
Pick up the quest at Historian Llore in Stormwind Library or Historian Ju'pa in Orgrimmar, Valley of Spirits. The Originals is a daily quest that requires players to be level 60 or higher.
Description:
Long ago, great terrors walked our lands, and drove even the smallest to flights of heroism. I speak, of course, about Lord Kazzak, Azuregos, and the Dragons of Nightmare. Legends have it that so sought after were their treasures, that armies would camp overnight to hunt them down. We have felt disturbances in the timeways, coincidentally located where these giants once roamed. Would you mind investigating for us? Strange things happen during this time of year.
These bosses drop some loot highly prized by transmog collectors such as Strangely Glyphed Legplates and
Gauntlets of the Shining Light to match the transmog set Imbued Plate (Recolor), and the weapons
Staff of Rampant Growth,
Nightmare Blade,
Typhoon,
Emerald Dragonfang, and
Amberseal Keeper.
You can bonus roll with Seal of Broken Fate to increase your chances at getting this special loot!

Lord Kazzak
Lord Kazzak is a very popular world boss, returning over the years as Doom Lord Kazzak in Outland and Supreme Lord Kazzak in Tanaan Jungle.
His original version, Lord Kazzak, spawned in the Blasted Lands and could be kited to Stormwind to rain destruction on the city. He also dropped one of the quest items needed for the Priest weapon Benediction.
His abilities included Capture Soul which healed him on player death,
Mark of Kazzak to drain player mana and then cause an explosion, and
Twisted Reflection which heals Kazzak when a specific player is damaged.

Ring of Entropy,
Amberseal Keeper*,
Doomhide Gauntlets,
Flayed Doomguard Belt,
Eskhandar's Pelt,
Infernal Headcage,
Empyrean Demolisher*,
Blazefury Medallion
Azuregos
Azuregos was a very difficult and time-consuming boss due to the Mark of Frost ability which placed a 15 minute debuff on anyone slain, turning them into an ice cube. He also periodically wiped aggro, teleported to players, and reflected all spells back onto players.
Azuregos also had a sense of humor; he got fed up protecting the Blue Scepter Shard and gave it to the shark Maws. This started a lengthy questline to summon the boss, involving collecting pages from bosses, spending lots of gold on costly materials, and acquiring
Recipe: Dirge's Kickin' Chimaerok Chops:
After his stint as a world boss, Azuregos became a questgiver in Azshara. With all the times players killed him, he wanted to stay in the spirit realm and fell in love with the spirit healer! Learn more about his role in the Farewell, Minnow questline.
In Legion, Azuregos has a more serious role in the Arcane Mage and Discipline Priest artifact questlines that take you to the Nexus.
