Lore[]

From Hearthpwn:

  • Xaril is a mantid who resides in Klaxxi'vess, the main base of the Klaxxi in central Dread Wastes.
  • He is one of the Klaxxi paragons, a champion from past eras who was preserved in amber for future use in case of a great crisis.
  • A true master of alchemy, he uses his abilities to create poisons and explosives!
  • In World of Warcraft, you awaken Xaril out of the amber he is encased in and then go on a hunt to find ingredients for him to use in his poisons.
  • Xaril and the other Klaxxi paragons eventually turned themselves over to aid Garrosh when he unearthed the heart of the Old God, Y'Shaarj.

On click:
  • "There are many wonderful poisons, Wakener. Some can boil you alive. Some will eat your flesh. Some burst you open from the inside. So many wonderful varieties."
  • "Have you ever tried drinking poison, Wakener? You must start with something very mild, only a few drops at first. You will likely become violently ill. Perhaps you will even lose an antennae or two. But do it long enough, and you will become quite used to it."
  • "I was once the Empress Shek'zeer's most prized royal alchemist, peerless, and above all others."
  • "Pah! I remember when Un'sok was still a drone, afraid to mix his first toxin. I dare him to face me alone. Then we shall see whose alchemy is supreme."
Conversation with Hisek the Swarmkeeper:
  • Xaril the Poisoned Mind says: How does it feel to go rogue a second time, swarmkeeper? Your empress was also gripped by paranoia, was she not?
  • Hisek the Swarmkeeper says: Grand Empress Zek'hara masked her true intentions behind the guise of matronly worry. She claimed her overbearing ways were necessary to protect us.
  • Hisek the Swarmkeeper says: When she tried to forbid the swarm, it was to prevent, as she put it, "a senseless loss of life."
  • Hisek the Swarmkeeper says: In reality, she was obsessed with control. She aspired to stay in power long past her time, and was willing to sacrifice our eternal cycle to achieve that. We had no choice but to end her.
  • Hisek the Swarmkeeper says: How does it feel? I have no regrets, if that is what you are asking. I am honored to serve the will of the Klaxxi.
  • Hisek the Swarmkeeper says: And having seen what Grand Empress Shek'zeer is doing to our land... I need no convincing.
  • Xaril the Poisoned Mind says: Of course.
  • Xaril the Poisoned Mind says: I served Shek'zeer for a time, you know. Before I was preserved. Her madness is nothing so rational as ambition.
  • Xaril the Poisoned Mind says: She trusts no one. Paranoia gnaws at her mind. She is driven by fear unrelenting.

Toxins[]

Xaril's Toxin cards represent poisons made with (or at least named after) various herbs found in Azeroth - Briarthorn, Bloodthistle, Fadeleaf, Kingsblood and Firebloom. These spells are all original to Hearthstone in name, and in many cases also in their effects.

Bloodthistle
Bloodthistle WoW

Bloodthistle in World of Warcraft

Bloodthistle is an unusual herb found only in the blood elf starting area Eversong Woods. It can be consumed by blood elves to increase their spell power. The herb does not feature in any recipes, and has no use in herbalism. Xaril's use of the herb in the Whispers of the Old GodsBloodthistle Toxin may be the first known bloodthistle concoction. Its effect of removing a minion from the battlefield may refer to the dazed state in which users of bloodthistle are often left, similar to LegacySap.

Wowpedia iconThis section uses content from Wowpedia.
Bloodthistle is a herb native to Eversong Woods. It grows in and around areas of blood elf magical activity (i.e. near buildings). It can only be used by blood elves to get a +10 to their spell power. No other races are able to consume the herb. After the buff fades, the consumer of the Bloodthistle will be afflicted with Bloodthistle Withdrawal for 20 minutes, which reduces Spirit by 5 from the lack of Bloodthistle. The buff stacks with all other buffs. The debuff can be cured by consuming more Bloodthistle (which delays the withdrawal), casting a mage's LegacyIce Block, or activating a paladin's Divine Shield.
A frequent consumer of bloodthistle is called a "thistlehead", and looked down upon by common blood elf society. Selling bloodthistle seems also to have been outlawed in several places, such as Shattrath City. According to the Illidari blood elves, Eclipse Point is full of thistleheads.
