Quest Log

Disturbing the Past (Warlock)

Disturbing the Past is a quest for level 10-45. It is step 3 of 9 in the Ulthalesh, the Deadwind Harvester storyline. The quest's turn-in marker is in Deadwind Pass at 52.3, 33.8. It rewards 6,150 experience and money.

Description

This place is where the merchant, Ariden, set up camp while he was trying to ply his dubious wares to the sorcerer Medivh. It has remained strangely untouched for all this time, which leads me to believe it may still have a connection to its former owner.

Help me search the camp. Let's see if we can find something to lead us to the Dark Riders.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

Following the CurseLevel 10-45
Very well. I suppose an introduction is in order. I am Revil Kost, priest of the Light and a seeker of lost artifacts. I've dealt with the Dark Riders before, and have returned to rid this place of them. The Riders are elusive, but I may have a clue to their whereabouts.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

To Point the WayLevel 10-45
Though the journal devolves into dark ramblings written in hurried scribbles, one entry stands out: "Ulthalesh. The name rings in my head. I can hear it calling, but where? "The spirits... the very land here is tied to it. It is no wonder we would so often get lost in this place.
