Ice and Shadow

Ice and Shadow is a quest for level 40-90. It is step 5 of 18 in the Allies of the Horde: Highmountain storyline. The quest's turn-in marker is in Highmountain at 57.6, 92.4. It rewards 1 reputation reward, 9,500 experience and money.

Description

We took down one of the Necrodark. Ebonhorn found that it held a shard of ice infused with shadow essence.

Perhaps the villains are using these shards as a kind of talisman. I suggest you deprive them of their trinkets.

I know little of such magics, but it seemed that Ebonhorn had a use for them in mind.

If, like me, you turned in this quest and then nothing seemed to be happening, go back to the end of the bridge where you first picked up this quest (at roughly 56,89 in Highmountain) and Jale Rivermane should have the quest Whispers of the Darkness. (Edit: originally Wowhead had the wrong data for the quest, but it's fixed now.)

If you're like me and drug your newly-minted level 110 ass up the mountain to do this quest with a puny item level, you may find this quest to be a bit of a challenge. Focus on the [npc=130425] and the [npc=104979] to reduce the pounding you'll take to something reasonable.

What is up with this series of quests? I'm doing them as an ilvl160 Frost Mage and the enemies are seriously more difficult than most mobs I've faced in Shadowlands. I'd even say some of the normal mobs are almost on par with some elites and world-bosses. It's like they're completely overtuned.
I recommend that anyone with a squishy character without self-heals comes with a friend if you still need to unlock the Highmountain Tauren.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

Curse of the NecrodarkLevel 40-90
It is clear that the Old Gods have long sought to control Highmountain. Their covetous desire speaks to the power of this land, and the strength of the spirits that echo through its peaks and valleys. They will not take our sacred mountain, <name>. Not while I draw breath.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

The Final WardLevel 40-90
The Necrodark are readying their ritual to give physical form to the Darkness. They've sealed themselves inside and barred our way. The shards you brought me should provide the means to bring down the barrier. Once it is done, we have to act quickly.
