Description

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. In our previous confrontation, I was able to see a glimpse into their past. Granted blessed vision by the Cloak of Purity, I saw the Dark Riders for who they were before.

Come with me to Ariden's camp. I will explain on the way.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

ApocalypseLevel 10-45
<The Lich King's chill voice fills your mind once again> There is an ancient blade, lost in the echoes of time, that has the power to bring my vengeance upon the Legion. It is known as Apocalypse. I've sensed the blade in the possession of the Dark Riders of Deadwind Pass.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

Disturbing the PastLevel 10-45
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.
