The Hydraxian Waterlords are a faction in World of Warcraft Classic. The only way you can build reputation with this faction is by killing specific creatures until you reach max reputation, as there aren't any quests that grant reputation with them. The Hydraxian Waterlords can be found in Azshara, on an island on The Great Sea.

Hydraxian Rewards
In Phase 1, the only two worthwhile rewards are Ocean's Breeze/Tidal Loop and Aqual Quintessence.
Aqual Quintessence is essential for clearing Molten Core as it allows players to extinguish different runes during one of the boss fights. By extinguishing these runes, you'll be able to access Majordomo Executus and Ragnaros shortly after. To obtain it, you first must reach Honoured with the Hydraxian Waterlords and then finish the quest Hands of the Enemy, though you must have finished the preceding chain quest. Duke Hydraxis will then offer you Aqual Quintessence as a reward. You can only carry one at a time and must talk to him again in Azshara if you need another one.
To get Ocean's Breeze or Tidal Loop, as you can only choose one of them, you must first be Honoured with the Hydraxian Waterlords, then finish A Hero's Reward and the quests above. Then, all you have to do is open the quest giver's chest, Duke Hydraxis.
