WARNING: If you click the bones and wander away without killing Korvash, then you will have to abandon and re-accept this quest before you can click the bones again. So either you're stuck waiting for someone else to activate the bones and summon the dude, or running back to get the quest again.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Buried PowerLevel 50

    Since time immemorial, the Drust have used runes to shape their magics. This remains true of the spells woven by Gorak Tul and his ilk. You will need some of these runes for your effigy to be effective.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Waycrest Manor: Draining the HeartsbaneLevel 50

    The skull you have taken from Korvash needs to be steeped in Gorak Tul's magic to grant the power needed to bridge the gap to Thros. You must take it to a font of his power, and let it absorb his magic. You will find one such font in Waycrest Manor - the epicenter of the coven's power.

The storyline at a glance

The Pride of Kul Tiras has 24 steps, from What You May Regret to Thros, the Blighted Lands.

Maps its steps are placed on (steps per map): Drustvar (8), Tiragarde Sound (7), Stormsong Valley (6), Boralus (3).
