Description

So they're summoning in their workers and warriors at those altars? They'll need to be the first thing to go. The master summoner should have a staff which allows him to activate the portal. If you kill the master summoner and take the staff, you can use it to overload the summoning portal and destroy its altar. Do this at all four of the altars and return to me once they've been destroyed.

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.

  • Where Are They Coming From?Icecrown · Level 25-30

    The Lich King's tireless minions labor away night and day to assemble scores of abominations and flesh giants down there in the Fleshwerks. Yet, that is not enough. More and more skeletal constructors keep appearing to increase the pace of work.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Death's GazeIcecrown · Level 25-30

    The Fleshwerks is a vast operation, and it will be difficult to keep an eye on all that transpires there. Fortunately, I have a plan. <Arly produces an orb from the folds of her cloak and shows it to you.> This is a death's gaze orb.
