After completing this quest I was stuck - no further quest in my log. Reload didn't help, but restart did, finally Before the Void showed up in my log and the mobs around me were neutral. Still I had to approach Xal'atath multiple times before it counted as completed. She's at /way 63.19 38.96.

Xal'atath: "We need to talk to their leader. Nothing attracts leaders like a crisis. Let's go cause one, and then solve it."
I had no idea she was a modern-day politician.

I had to talk to Soul-Scribe several time until the cut-scene played and quest completed. You may also need to /reload then speak with them.

That is every comment on this page.

Description

The Wastelanders have made camp in the ruins of old K'aresh. A sanctuary from the ravenous beasts of the Void that stalk the wastes of K'aresh. A bulwark against outsiders. If a hostile entity were to enter their camp, you could defeat it--then they would respect you. Take the void energy you gathered into the ruined tower north of here. Be ready!

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.

Hunting on GlassK'aresh · Level 80
Violent scavengers of the Void have been drawn to Dimensius's aura to feast upon the scraps he will leave behind. This presents a problem for our Wastelander friends. Scavenging is their job. They could handle these beasts--I would not be seeking to ally with them if they couldn't.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

Before the VoidK'aresh · Level 80
You've impressed these Wastelanders with your violent prowess, my champion. Well done. Now let me do my work. I know what these former oracles want. They dream of hearing the Song of K'aresh once more. I must make them believe it is possible, then pull on that string of desire.
