World of Warcraft Patch 11.1: Undermined – A Goblin's Demise Sparks Revolution

Key Developments:

  • Renzik "The Shiv," a veteran Goblin Rogue, is killed in Patch 11.1.
  • Gazlowe, spurred by Renzik's death, launches a rebellion against Gallywix in the "Liberation of Undermine" raid.
  • Gallywix, the self-proclaimed Chrome King, faces his potential end as the final raid boss.

The narrative arc of World of Warcraft's Patch 11.1 takes a dramatic turn with the unexpected demise of Renzik "The Shiv." This long-standing Goblin Rogue, a familiar face to many players since the game's inception, falls victim to Gallywix's assassination attempt targeting Gazlowe. This pivotal moment, revealed during Public Test Realm (PTR) gameplay, reshapes the storyline.

Players join Gazlowe and Renzik in Undermine, the Goblin capital, to secure the Dark Heart before Xal'atath. Gazlowe's initial reluctance to engage in Undermine's political turmoil is overshadowed by Renzik's sacrifice, who intercepts an attack intended for Gazlowe. This event, documented by Wowhead lore analyst Portergauge, serves as a catalyst.

Renzik's Legacy:

While not a central figure, Renzik's death resonates deeply. As one of the original Goblin NPCs, predating playable Goblins, his presence is significant. His sacrifice, however, ignites a revolution. Gazlowe, fueled by Renzik's martyrdom, unites the Trade Princes and Undermine's populace against Gallywix.

Gallywix's Fate:

The "Liberation of Undermine" raid culminates in a confrontation with Gallywix. Given the typical fate of final raid bosses in World of Warcraft, Gallywix's survival seems unlikely, hinting at a possible end for another iconic Goblin character in Patch 11.1.
