How to Get Thrayir, Eyes of the Siren in World of Warcraft: The War Within

Patch 11.0.7 in World of Warcraft: The War Within brings a new zone - The Siren Isle - as well as new quests, new achievements, and new mounts.


The four new mounts released with the Siren Isle are Thrayir, Eyes of the Siren, Soweezi's Vintage Waveshredder, The Breaker's Song, and the Prismatic Snapdragon. In my opinion, Thrayir is by far the coolest new mount in patch 11.0.7.


Unlocking Thrayir requires players to complete a ritual inside the Forgotten Vault on the Siren Isle. Players will need to complete other activates around the Siren Isle to find 5 runekeys and complete the ritual during one of the island's Seafury Tempest storms.


Here's how to obtain the rare mount Thrayir, Eyes of the Siren:

Collect the 5 Runekeys


Before attempting to summon Thrayir, players will need to find 5 runekeys around the Siren Isle, the Whirling Runekey, the Torrential Runekey, The Thunderous Runekey, the Cyclonic Runekey, and the Turbulent Runekey. Here's how to get the 5 Runekeys:


Whirling Runekey - Drops from the rare Ksvir the Forgotten. This rare is located in the southernmost room of the Forgotten Vault, and only spawns during storms. This key is a guaranteed drop.

Torrential Runekey - Drops from any mob on the island during a storm. This key has a low drop rate, similar to the Crackling Shards for Alunira.


Thunderous Runekey - Collect 5 Thunderous Fragments around the Siren Isle to craft the Thunderous Runekey. These fragments can drop from any chest found in the Siren Isle, whether it's storming or not.


Cyclonic Runekey - Drops from the rare Zek-ul the Shipbreaker in the Deadfin Mire during a storm.

Turbulent Runekey - Collect 3 Turbulent Fragments around the Siren Isle to craft the Turbulent Runekey. These keys are at set locations in the Siren Isle, but can only be seen during storms near 3 Kul Tiran ghosts:


  • Behind the abandoned inn (the ghost is digging in the garden)

  • Inside a cave in the Rotting Hole area (the ghost is cowering)

  • Inside the Spirit-Scarred Cave (the ghost is holding the fragment)


Complete the Ritual


After gathering all 5 Runekeys, wait for a Seafury Tempest storm and then go to the Forgotten Vault. The ritual to summon Thrayir, Eyes of the Siren will be in the Easternmost room of the Forgotten Vault.


Activate each rune stone with the Runekeys you have and Thrayir will come back to life!


Turn in the Quest


After Thrayir comes back to life, he will give you the quest "Thrayir, Eyes of the Storm." Simply turn the quest in to Thrayir and he will join you as a new mount.


More Siren Isle & Patch 11.0.7 Guides


Patch 11.0.7 releases on December 17th and brings more than the Siren Isle. Blizzard also added a new meta-achievement mount for Battle for Azeroth, Jani's Trashpile. This is one of the few mounts where you transform into the mount upon summoning.


Players can also farm out the meta-achievement for The War Within - You Xal Not Pass - rewarding players with the Shadow of Doubt mount.


Here are more mount guides for the Siren Isle and The War Within:
