Description

I was a damned fool for throwing my axe at that sea hag. We can't afford to lose focus. The battle ahead won't be easy. I'll need another weapon to help us fight to the waystone. Looks like these soldiers have plenty of armaments. Let's keep an eye out for one I can use.

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.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Wounds Beyond FleshLevel 50

    Even as Baine's flesh mends, his spirit draws closer to death. I have seen dark magic like this before... among the Shadowmoon clan. The Jailer's minions must have inflicted a similar malady upon Baine.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Draw Out the DarknessLevel 50

    Now that we have the dagger, it will take the combined will of all of us to sever the weapon's link to the High Chieftain. Jaina, Anduin, and I must do our part to keep Baine's spirit grounded, so it will be up to you to deal with whatever force is unleashed when the blade is broken.

The storyline at a glance

Through the Shattered Sky has 23 steps, from Shadowlands: A Chilling Summons to Stand as One.

Maps its steps are placed on (steps per map): The Maw (21), Icecrown Citadel (2).
