Quest Log

Avoiding Blame (Orgrimmar)

Avoiding Blame is a quest for level 10-80 in Orgrimmar. It is step 4 of 10 in The Cult Within storyline. The quest's turn-in marker is in Orgrimmar at 42.1, 60.4. It rewards 9,500 experience and money.

Description

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. We cannot permit the weak to fall to the Void's dark designs.

The Cleft of Shadow is home to many practitioners of unsavory magic. Identify and end any cultists you may find there.

If you're missing quest mobs in the Cleft as a demon hunter, you may notice that Orgrimmar is in a different phase where most townspeople are gathering in front of Grommash Hold.

After you walked through from the Dornogal portal to Org. and leave the portal room, you may find [npc=97296] at the entrance corridor of Orgrimmar offering the quest: Audience with the Warchief. This quest led me outside of Orgrimmar's gate (Second Sight) where I finished the 2-3 outside quests and the quest mobs in the Cleft were finally visible when I returned to the Cleft.

There is a different dialogue for any shadow/void users (shadow priests, warlocks, devourer demon hunters):

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. Scour the Cleft of Shadows for cultists and end any you may find.
The cult's rhetoric may appeal to you. Save your fraternizing with the Void for after we have destroyed Xal'atath and her Twilight's Blade.

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.
