Description

Attacking the djaradin controlling the Obsidian Citadel will be no easy task. Even with Wrathion and his Blacktalon forces, this will be a fierce battle. Wrathion may be confident, but... I am not so certain. Perhaps we can speak to those helping to plan the strategy, and see if we can find any room for improvement.

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.

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Sharp PracticeThe Waking Shores · Level 10-70

    For years I have fostered the Blacktalon, teaching and encouraging them to pursue the same heights you have reached. They may not have achieved the same lofty goals as yourself, but they are accomplished in their own right. They've made me proud. Each would be honored if you test their skills.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Talon StrikeThe Waking Shores · Level 10-70

    With your help, my Blacktalon assassins will cut down the djaradin defending the outer perimeter. Mark any targets with a small stun bomb, and they will come to your aid. Proceed quickly and eliminate anything that may hinder our advance.
