Anchors of the Black Empire

Anchors of the Black Empire is a quest for level 50 in Uldum, added in Battle for Azeroth. It rewards 6,800 experience and money.

Description

This invasion struck us without warning, with structures reminiscent of the Black Empire materializing out of nothing, pouring out the forces of the Old Gods. We have no idea how they came to be or where they came from.

However, whenever a new structure appears, it is preceded by malefic obelisks. We believe these obelisks act as anchors to usher in more of the Old Gods' forces.

If we truly wish to stem the tide of this invasion, we must destroy the obelisks.

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.
