Quest Log

Avoiding Blame (Stormwind City)

Avoiding Blame is a quest for level 10-80 in Stormwind City. It is step 3 of 10 in The Cult Within storyline. The quest's turn-in marker is in Stormwind City at 71.9, 60.0. It rewards 9,500 experience and money.

Description

Apocalyptic threats have taken many forms in Azeroth's history, but today we face Xal'atath and her Twilight's Blade.

I fear that people are falling into hopelessness as the Radiant Song cries a warning. The Twilight's Blade could use that despair to draw them into their ranks.

My mages have identified this district as housing a peculiar amount of void energy. Investigate and stop any cultists you may find.

This quest text is actually different for warlocks! Enjoy!

The Cult of Twilight has long been dedicated to ending Azeroth. That they ally with Xal'atath is no surprise.

If the Twilight's Blade are indoctrinating citizens, we must stop them. Scout the Cleft of Shadows for cultists and end any you may find.

The cultist's rhetoric may appeal to you. Save your fraternizing with the Void for after we have destroyed Xal'atath and her Twilight's Blade.

The quest giver was also passive-aggressive and mentioned my character's void affiliation when I turned in the previous quest. Really love the flavor! :D

That is every comment on this page.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • The Cult WithinTwilight Highlands · Level 10-80

    <A missive written on fine parchment unfurls before you.> <name>, I have heard unsettling rumors that Xal'atath's cult, the Twilight's Blade, is recruiting within Horde cities. Meet me in Orgrimmar so we may root out this evil. We cannot suffer a single cultist within our walls.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • The Twilight HighlandsTwilight Highlands · Level 10-80

    I've spoken with Grand Magister Rommath. Despite our differences, it seems we are aligned in purpose. We have both found evidence that Twilight's Blade cultists are convening in the Twilight Highlands. It's a place long scarred by the cult's misdeeds.
