What to do
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 this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Against the Illidari
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 Pupil
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.
