Description
Three of the ancient wards are restored. The mountain is not yet secure, but we may have done enough to break Ebonhorn free of the shadows gripping him. Let us return to Thunder Totem and see how he fares. Hopefully Ebonhorn can tell us more about what is happening with the Necrodark and the insidious master they serve.
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.
- Together We Are the Horde!
What began with a simple feast led to a battle against an ancient evil seeking to consume the world. My kind of day! Your deeds have helped secure an alliance between Orgrimmar and Highmountain. These tauren will make a valuable addition to the Horde. The Warchief will be pleased.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- The Spiritwalkers
Ebonhorn is in the care of Spiritwalker Graysky. A cure is proving elusive... he has asked for your help. Please speak with him at once, <name>. The spiritwalkers are the keepers of our past. I pray the answer lies somewhere in the ancient truths they hold.
