<name>, today will be a day of ceremonies and great magic.

Before we begin to cleanse the Darkwell, agreements must be made.

We have two events that have requested your presence, both as a mediator and as a witness. What we lay down today will have lasting ramifications, and it is important to all of us that we have you at the center of it all.

Meet with Aethas and Rommath for their respective events. Once you are done, return here and we shall continue to the Darkwell together.

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.

  • Reluctant HandLevel 90

    Champion, I felt it was important to have you here for this moment so that neither I nor my wayward former peer get off topic with his many failings. I also want a witness in case he turns to evil. Would you be so kind as to unpack a few items so that I do not have to touch them?
