Description

The Legion has sent one demon after another to try to break into the Kirin Tor vaults in the city, but we don't know what they're after. Looks like they finally made it in. We need to find out what was taken, and quickly, before they get a chance to put whatever it is to use. Probe any survivors for information - I'll use my spectral sight to make sure there aren't still any straggling demons lurking about.

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.

  • Vengeance: Seeking Kor'vasLevel 45

    Thankfully, we are not quite alone in uncovering the Legion's plots to infiltrate the city. One of your Illidari, Kor'vas Bloodthorn, has taken to patrolling the city streets on her own to find the source behind the recent attacks.

    That heart is the last remaining piece of Highlord Kruul - once one of the Legion's best warlords. Many years ago Kruul's armies nearly descended upon the Dark Portal to crush the Azerothian assault on Outland. We Illidari intercepted before he could strike.
