The ritual of the awakening of Naralex is meant to be the last event in Wailing Caverns, which leads to the final boss, Mutanus the Devourer.

You need to slay the four Fanglords in the instance.

Lord Cobrahn;
Lady Anacondra;
Lord Pythas;
Lord Serpentis.

Usually after slaying all the other bosses as well, what you need to do is just to go back and speak with the Tauren that you saw while first arriving inside the instance, the Disciple of Naralex. Start the event and escort him up to where Naralex is, at the Dreamer's Rock, top north of the instance. During this escort the Disciple will stop and speak a few times. When this happens be prepared to fight, there are two waves: first, two elite Deviate Ravagers, and next time there'll be three elite among Deviate Viper and Deviate Adder.

Once you reach Naralex, there will be two more waves and then the boss. First, three elite Deviate Moccasin, next, seven normal Nightmare Ectoplasm. Then comes Mutanus the Devourer. One of the funniest bosses to see, he's just a big murloc! :)

The first time you do this, you'll have a new quest to start from the Glowing Shard that drops.

I just have to ask, is it possible for alliance members to do this quest? I got a run through with a lvl 70, cleared the mobs and the tauren is still standing doing the ritual the whole time im writing this. Did I do something wrong maybe?

no, it was just a bug, it happened to me a couple times then it worked. so just try again.

From a lore point of view, who is this guy? Why are ther so many deciples of this dude that we don't even know? And why are we helping him?

For all we know he might have been the one that will eventually destroy Orgrimmar.
(I know this. There was a bug at Caverns of Time.)

Really, I did not know you had to kill the Fanglords. Mutanus the Devourer was already there when I got there.

In Cataclysm, his hard work has finally paid off and parts of the Barrens have grown lush.

As others have mentioned (for several years now apparently...) I cleared this entire zone to get the achievement and when I got to the end I killed all the mobs before they reached the Disciple of Naralax... and it bugged.

I reset the instance, busted a move getting the 4 bosses again, and then I made sure when I started the escort I let every mob hit him at least once before I took them out. ESPECIALLY the mobs during the ritual... no issue the second time around, and it took me 22 minutes start to finish.

I went in today with some guildies to get the guild run achievement and we had some problems getting the last boss to spawn, so we reset and did it again... seemed to have the same problems until one of the guildies was playing around in the water waiting for a GM to message him and he found that one of the ectoplasms spawned UNDER a rock. He managed to aggro it (not easy at 90) and the boss spawned fine after it was killed.

Moral of the story... it's bugged, but in a workable way if you can find that ectoplasm.

Just ran a friend through this dungeon and thought the quest had bugged. Ended up swimming through the water and found FOUR ectoplasms all just sitting there. Once I killed them, the murloc spawned. You may not need to reset it or anything, just go swimming for those ectoplasms.

patch 7.3 Update

OK, as of 7.3 all you have to do is talk to the Tauren at the beginning of the instance and follow and defend him. Kill the boss when it spawns and you are golden. Of course, clear the dungeon first.
