Description

What are these void spawn doing here? Could it be the Harbinger's doing? Some power of the Dark Heart?

Well. I do not mean to stand idly by.

We must confront the Riftwalker. I don't think she will see reason now, but perhaps she can tell us something.

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.

  • Walk a Mile in Her ShadowsLevel 70

    I don't often work with the Riftwalkers. I prefer to handle missions alone. Still, I will not abandon one of them. I cannot yet sense the Riftwalker's presence. Our best path forward is to retrace her steps. Which means following the shadows.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Legacy of the VoidLevel 70

    Make no mistake, <name>. I know this is a trap. But if there's any chance this leads us to the Harbinger, we must take that risk. Be at the ready. We venture forth.
