Description

I came here on a mission to slay the demon eredar, Azoran. During my infiltration, I was shot down from my felbat and captured. I'm not going to mince words, {name}. Azoran plans to use the Burning Legion command ship to destroy Dalaran. To stop him, I will need my warglaives that were lost during my fall from the sky. I would retrieve them myself, but I'm still weakened from my imprisonment. Search for the warglaives on the northern side of the crater, where I was shot down.

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.

    This crater is infested with felfire basilisks. They may not be the most cunning of creatures, but they are as vile and dangerous as any demon. However, they may yet prove useful to us. Slay the basilisks, but return to me with chunks of their fel-infused flesh.
