StorylineWestern Plaguelands, step 28 of 63
Rewards31g 50s, 6,200 XP

Description

Gandling has brought his lieutenant, the Ravenian, with him. This lumbering brute is far more dangerous than any of the other Scourge you will find upon the battlefield... even the abominations. You will find the Ravenian within a tower near the southern end of town. I recommend caution before fighting him, {name}. He will not be a pushover.

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.

  • ScholomancerWestern Plaguelands · Level 15-30

    The Scholomance is one of the few Scourge holdouts remaining west of the Thondroril. The headmaster of Scholomance, a cultist by the name of Darkmaster Gandling, has made an appearance on the battlefield. This will be his final mistake.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Araj the SummonerWestern Plaguelands · Level 15-30

    With the animus destroyed, the next logical step is to take out Araj himself, and to take a shard of his phylactery. You've probably already seen him, lurking at the fountain in the center of town. Take my grenades with you.
