Description

Some demons pledge allegiance to no one but themselves. A true enemy of demons finds and destroys his prey regardless of affiliation, however. The demon Xeleth - a Legion defector - was once worshipped as a god by primitive swamp creatures in Zangarmarsh. When Draenor was nearly destroyed, he retreated into a slumber deep beneath Marshlight Lake. Find the portal at the lake and plant this spear into the ground. Xeleth will awake - be ready to slay him and prove you're an enemy to all demons.

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.

  • Against the IllidariNagrand · Level 25-30

    I still have respect for Illidan. Without him I would not have found my path. He is not who he once was, however. His soul has been corrupted by power, his mind has been twisted by defeat.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Illidan's PupilNagrand · Level 25-30

    You've proven your allegiance, <name>. You must forgive my caution, but in this world things are not what they appear. I will tell you about Varedis when you're ready.
