Quest Log

From Whence He Came

From Whence He Came is a quest for level 15-30 in Searing Gorge. It is step 22 of 23 in the Searing Gorge storyline. It rewards 1 reputation reward and 5,150 experience.

Description

Archduke Calcinder squirms in the back of this very cavern. We are close to killing him... but that is not what we are going to do.

Slaying Calcinder here means nothing. His acolytes can easily revive him. Instead, we are going to banish him.

I asked you to gather a precious stone from the Twilight's Hammer earlier. You will now use it against Calcinder. Engage him, weaken him, then use this device on him. He will be banished from this realm.

Good luck, brave <name>.
