Description

It is a dark day for the Ringing Deeps, <name>.

I always knew there was something about the High Speaker that wasn't quite right. Now we have proof.

And we need justice. If he has plans for the Awakening Machine, then we've got to stop him.

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.
