The
Avengers of Hyjal is the new raid reputation being introduced with
patch 4.2 for raiders daring enough to enter the Firelands and do battle with Ragnaros' minions. Much like the

Blizzard has said that the Avengers of Hyjal faction will work differently from the Ashen Verdict, however, in that it does not want players farming the trash in the Firelands for reputation. Rather, it looks like we will get a system like the
Brood of Nozdormu or
Hydraxian Waterlords, where after a certain reputation level, the only way to increase your standing with the faction is to kill bosses.
