"He is still family after all, and I do not wish him to become dinner to these deepflayers."

Wrathion, you literally had all the remaining known corrupt members of your family slain...

(People might say "yeah, but they were corrupt" - but his emphasis here is on family, corrupt or not...)

Description

By my scales, I needed that win! That blasted Incarnate swatting us like flies did a number on my ego, and I assume Sabellian feels no different. As infuriating as I find his lack of humor, groaning voice, and ugly shoes... I would ask that you check in on him. He is still family, after all, and I do not wish him to become dinner to these deepflayers. Meet Honeypelt and I outside these dreadful nests when you finish up with Sabellian.

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.

  • Niffen and GoliathZaralek Cavern · Level 36-80

    I didn't just come all the way out here to save your sniffers, ya know! The deepflayers are vicious and stubborn, like obsidian ore. We've tried to lead them from our town by leaving out food and such, but they're all too keen to attack our sparrow caravans.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Secrets From Our FatherZaralek Cavern · Level 10-80

    Look closely, <name>. You see this odd chunk of metal in the deepflayer muck? I have felt my head swimming since we arrived in these caverns. I thought it was just the ceaseless prattling of our whelp, Wrathion, but this object here may prove otherwise.
