Description
We have the front here under control. I am sending you and Zelling into Boralus to acquire the Abyssal Scepter. Oculeth has managed to pinpoint a safe location for a portal. Get moving.
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.

Storyline
The Strike on Boralus
Part 4 of 13.
We now have the perfect bait to draw the Kul Tiran military away from their capital city of Boralus. This will buy us time to obtain our ultimate goal: the Abyssal Scepter.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Old Colleagues
The people in charge of those two ships are old colleagues of mine, <name>. They did not achieve their rank through hard work as I did, but rather through deception and blackmail. I think they deserve the hammer of karma. Or whatever weapon you prefer.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Relics of Ritual
There is a reason why I am accompanying you on this mission, and it's more than familiarity. The Abyssal Scepter is locked behind a ritual, the components for which are held by three separate lieutenants spread across the compound.
