Inside the instance kill around a dozen trash mobs and then prepare for what is likely the most difficult raid in the expansion. Say "We challenge you" to either brother to start. There are four components to the event:

• Tallon Zek - Rooted on the left side of the room. he has significant melee dps, but can use summon tanking to mitigate this. He frequently casts Tallon's Balance, a long range AE that lowers all resists by 525. He also has an array of targeted AE's that do a variety of things (dd, dot, snare, hate reduction, etc). Also every so often he choose a spot with the most PC's and emotes to everybody at that spot:
  
  Tallon Zek appears to be taking aim at this area
  
  Everybody in range also gets a red text popup. Shortly after the emote he fires a Large DD to anybody still in that area.
  
  
• Vallon Zek - Rooted on the right side of the room. Also has a significant melee dps and AE rampage. He casts Vallon's Subversion on the tank, which reduces agro by 100% with 42 curse counters. He also hits the tank with Tactical Strike, an unresistable FD with a 4 sec stun. Additionally he has a 125 range AE Vallon's Precision which is a small dot, ac debuff, and an agro Increaser making it very easy to pull agro off a debuffed, FD'd tank. He has a self buff that can't be removed that decreases any nuke cast on him. by 90% And finally every so often he spawns 3 clones. The clones hit hard, but despawn after 6 seconds or so making them more like a temp swarm pet.
  
  
• The Adds - These comprise the major difficulty of the event. Periodically throughout the event you get waves of adds that can spawn from any door leading to the room. They come in a variety of flavors, each with a special weakness:
  • a Rallosian warbrute, Giant, Fire and Slash
  • a Rallosian provost, Ogre, Fire and Blunt
  • a Rallosian priest, Ogre, Cold and Blunt
  • a Rallosian skirmisher, Goblin, Cold and Pierce
  • a Rallosian flamespeaker, Goblin, Cold and Pierce
  • a Rallosian archer, Goblin, Stun and Pierce
  • a Rallosian salvebringer, Orc, Stun
  • a Rallosian marauder, Orc, Stun
  • a Rallosian warmaster, Giant, Snare and Slash
  If the adds aren't picked up they will quickly go after healers, the flamespeakers will cast large damage AEs, the archers will start shooting, the giants will cast a short range AE stun, the priests will DA themselves, etc... In short, kill them as they spawn.
  
  
• Balance - To make matters interesting Tallon and Vallon must remain balanced throughout the event. If they get more than 10% out of balance the weaker zek heals up and they swap locations causing much havoc. Additionally it appears that the closer to balanced they are the fewer adds you get and Tallon does his location bomb less frequently.

Once you get both Zeks down to 10% their health locks until all the adds are dead. When the adds are dead they will emote about leaving, the chest spawns, and the door opens towards the next event Eriak's Downfall.
