Description

Gor'groth seeks to use shadow magic to gain control of Kalecgos, the aspect of the Blue Dragonflight. He's collected enough life essence to attempt to finish the ritual. I do not know what will happen, but we cannot let him complete it! Gor'groth will not stop until he is slain! You must storm the citadel and slay Gor'groth before he can complete his ritual! I would charge in beside you, were I not still recovering from his dark magic.

    Warlord Thunderwalker won't last much longer. Soon, his life essence will be completely drained. Gor'groth mentioned that they are keeping him captive through the use of ward stones. I want you to recover these ward stones and bring them here so we can release Thunderwalker.
