By and Down the River

By and Down the River is a quest for level 50. It is step 18 of 23 in the Through the Shattered Sky storyline. It rewards 3,400 experience and money.

Description

Our next step is clear. We must travel to Zovaal's Cauldron--a frightful place I've heard spoken of in fanatical whispers. It's a forge of sorts that lies across the River of Souls.

I have only been there a handful of times, but I have seen Baine held captive by the soldiers there. If fortune favors us, he'll still be nearby.

Once he's safe, we can see about finding this waystone the shade spoke of.

Where to go

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • From the Mouths of MadnessLevel 50

    I cannot express my gratitude enough for your help, champion. We mustn't linger, however. The Jailer's forces will soon be alerted to the disturbance here. Let us leave this place at once!

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Wounds Beyond FleshLevel 50

    Even as Baine's flesh mends, his spirit draws closer to death. I have seen dark magic like this before... among the Shadowmoon clan. The Jailer's minions must have inflicted a similar malady upon Baine.
