Description

There is someone who might shed light on this mystery, {race}. It is rumored that the Kvaldir have kept a naga priestess alive at the temple on the west side of the shore. She will no doubt have great reason to resent her uninvited Kvaldir guests. Perhaps my father is expecting her to cooperate with you in some way.

Where to go

Pins are the quest’s own POI points from the current retail client, projected onto the in-game zone map. The game marks one blob as the quest’s turn-in; the rest are objective areas. Points that fall outside a map’s window are dropped rather than guessed at.
