Description

Ah, {name}! Good. Now that you've helped me amass such a wealth of resources, it's time for me to pursue other... interests. What? You expected a more dramatic betrayal? Never! Don't worry, {name}, while I may be occupied elsewhere, I'll never tire of watching your adventures. Adventures still bolstered by my gifts, of course. Many have shown interest, but I've only found one void elf... amusingly strange enough to mentor. Orin Straylight is the name. You'll find him by the Catalyst in Silvermoon.

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.

    Greetings, <class>. Our mutual friend explained everything to us. Don't worry, my shade and I took to Decimus' voidweaving like fish to water. We had an idea. The Catalyst's transformative energies are immense and span the breadth of known elemental forces.
