Consoling the King

Consoling the King is an Alliance-only quest for level 45. It is step 3 of 8 in The King's Path storyline. The quest's turn-in marker is in Stormwind City at 49.7, 45.0. It rewards 4,600 experience and money.

Description

Anduin hasn't been the same since you brought him his father's compass. He has become listless... distracted.

We attempted to console him, to no avail. Yesterday morning, he left the keep without so much as a word.

I ordered the guards to follow him, of course. He went to pray at the cathedral, where he's remained ever since.

You brought this melancholy upon him! You must convince the boy to resume his duties. There's a war to be won!

I laughed until I cried. I got this "Summons to the Keep" and of course, went there. I spoke with [npc=119338] who gave me this quest, Consoling the King. He tells me, "King Anduin refuses to eat or sleep, He ignores every plea to return to the palace." THAT is the point I started laughing. You see, [npc=120264] is sitting on the throne, just to the left of [npc=119338]. . . Found him! He seems to be ok now. You can stop worrying. :D

I must have completed this quest at least 45 times so far (having so many alts), and it still to this day feels so personal to me, even now many years later in Legion Remix since my Dad's passing when this quest was fresh in original Legion. To me, and maybe to others that come across this comment someday, the experience Anduin has with his grief, with his feeling "lost", with his concerns about filling the shoes that his father left behind, it poignantly depicts the level of emptiness some of us feel when a parent leaves us.

World of Warcraft has always been there for me through all life's ups and downs. I am thankful for that. And this quest ALWAYS deserves a /curtsey, /salute, or /bow from me.
