What to do
Description
While we domanaar are best known for leading armies and savoring battles, there is more to us. Many, like myself, enjoy using our mastery over the Void to shape it into the buildings and objects you see around you. How do you think Xal'atath learned to create that great tower of hers? She's a quick study. Come now, and I will show you my work.
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.
- A Born Killer
Ah, <name>. I have so enjoyed our time together. I hunger for more. I wish you knew more of me than my predilection for the taste of mortal suffering. One of my greatest joys is in crafting Void power into various objects and structures. It is my passion--my art. Here, I would like to show you.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Seek to Destroy
It's no easy thing, intertwining Light and Void together. The result is unstable, so we must continue to temper it. We shall quench this blade in the blood of our enemies. Some domanaar attempt to reclaim and re-power Nexus-Point Xenas. That won't be good for your people.
