Description

Shadra the spider loa... the venom queen, a spirit of darkness and death! If there's been a sacrifice, they're trying to bring her forth as a last-ditch effort.

If the Vilebranch are performing rituals, I'm not going to let them finish.

Check the cave behind the altar at the top of Jintha'Alor. Deep within it, one of Shadra's keepers might still be lurking. Kill her and take whatever she carries back here so we can know what's going on.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Venomous SecretsThe Hinterlands · Level 10-30

    If the sacrifice has already been made, Shadra's presence is going to start creepin' into this realm. That cave's probably full of her spawn by now. Don't let them escape, <name>. Slay any of those vile spiders you find!

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Quel'Danil LodgeThe Hinterlands · Level 10-30

    I may appear far from home to you, <class>, but quite a few of my people were led here by Ambassador Rualeth. We have settled with the high elves of the Quel'Danil Lodge, to the northwest, to train in the ways of the Light and enjoy the peaceful beauty of this land. Such peace may be short lived.
