Description

The terms of our bargain have been met. You may depart with the souls you acquired. Perhaps the fate of this "Baine" is of interest to you or your allies. I suggest you return to Oribos and consult them. No need to rush. After all, those held within Torghast are tortured for centuries. Kindly remember not to tell anyone about our arrangement. Discretion is key between business partners, after all.

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.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Rule 3: Trust is EarnedThe Maw · Level 55-60

    Before you leave this cursed realm, there is one final task you must complete for me. The Mawsworn regularly transfer souls to various blocks of Torghast from many different areas in the Maw. I happen to know of one such area.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Return to AdrestesLevel 60

    Baine suffers within Torghast, but at least we know that he yet lives. Rushing to his rescue would prove disastrous without a plan of attack. I will see to preparing one. In the meantime, I suggest you bring the souls you rescued to Elysian Hold. The kyrian are vital to the Shadowlands.
