Contrition

Contrition is a quest for level 30-70 in Krokuun. It is step 4 of 7 in the Seeing Red storyline. The quest's turn-in marker is in Krokuun at 63.5, 42.5. It rewards 11,900 experience and money.

Description

The man'ari have grown desperate since the Legion fell. Some grasp for power. Some isolate themselves. Others have formed cults awaiting the return of Sargeras. They have faith that he will lead them again one day.

Nalridun is the leader of one such cult. They are reclusive, but it is rumored that he has seized an ancient relic that Kil'jaeden kept until his death. Nalridun claims to use it to commune with Sargeras.

I believe I know what this relic is. If I am correct, it must be returned to Velen.

There is a unique dialogue option only for orcs:
"Your master's deception nearly doomed my people, demon."

"I know. Kil'jaeden boasted of it often. He called his corruption of the orcs his "masterpiece."

But there was no beauty in what he did, only a repetition of what Sargeras had done to us.

Your people should never been pulled into the atrocities we committed.

I cannot amend the damage that was done, but I will fight to keep it from ever happening again."

Draenei players get a unique dialogue option here.

Many of our people died because of you, demon.

Arzal'kel's response:

Yes, they did.

Kil'Jaeden ordered your deaths and we obeyed. I obeyed. My hands are soaked in your blood.

I will not insult you with an empty apology, as if it could repair anything.

But know that I am ashamed of what I have done. Of what I allowed to happen.

I make no excuses, only a promise that I will give everything to rebuild what we have shattered.

That is every comment on this page.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Opening WoundsKrokuun · Level 30-70

    My hunters were the ones who found Arzal'kal. They said he helped them fight off several Legion ambushes. During our endless vigil on Argus, we had seen nothing like it. He was not as powerful as some demons, but he was persistent.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Severing TiesKrokuun · Level 30-70

    Nalridun has recruited a small army of cultists. They believe he speaks for Sargeras through the relic, clinging to every word he says. The same way we clung to our leaders when Sargeras came to Argus. It was a comfort. A hope. And, in the end, empty deception.

The storyline at a glance

Seeing Red has 7 steps, from Prophecy Stirs to Scavenged Artifacts.

Maps its steps are placed on (steps per map): Krokuun (6), The Vindicaar (1).

Steps of this storyline count toward:

  • Seeing Red Witness Velen's prophecy of unexpected penitence unfold.
