Description

I have no interest in following my brothers within Aberrus, but I continue to care for their safety. Neltharion fell so deeply into madness that his secret stronghold is no doubt filled with any number of unspeakable dangers. Go with them, {name}. Stand with them. They will need your support in what is to come.

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.

  • Stopping SarkarethZaralek Cavern · Level 36-80

    This is our last chance, <name>. If we allow Sarkareth to slip in to Aberrus, he may gain power that puts him beyond our reach. We must stop him now!

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • A Flame, ExtinguishedZaralek Cavern · Level 10-80

    Sarkareth is no more. His hubris left him vulnerable to the dark influences that have assaulted our flight for millennia. Just like Neltharion before him. I believe Emberthal seeks more answers than what Wrathion and Sabellian are able to give. She may need some assistance.
