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.

    With the betrayal of Sire Denathrius, and the absence of the Primus of Maldraxxus, we must assume that the Winter Queen is the Jailer's next target. And we won't let anyone take her sigil! Ardenweald has endured much, but it is a realm of great and mysterious power.

After this quest

  • The Heart of ArdenwealdArdenweald · Level 60

    I hid my sigil in the Heart of the Forest, to keep it safe from the forces of the Maw. But the horn has called for aid. You and your allies go, see what has prompted the call.
