Into the Dark

Into the Dark is a quest for level 10-80 in Aberrus, the Shadowed Crucible. It is step 5 of 8 in the A Flame, Extinguished storyline. The quest's turn-in marker is in Zaralek Cavern at 48.3, 10.2. It rewards 9,500 experience and money.

Description

My Blacktalon forces continue to secure the laboratory, but I think we are done here, <name>.

We have secured some slitherdrakes to take us down to the central platform. From there we can continue below, to where Sarkareth fell.

I am certain Ebyssian and Emberthal will benefit from our presence.

This quest takes place inside a specific kind of Aberrus instance. You need to access this specific Aberrus instance through either Sabellian or Wrathion whom are both located at 48 , 13. You talk to either of them, and they'll send you to the correct instance.
DO NOT FLY INTO THE ACTUAL RAID.

When I jumped down into the cosmic pool before Sarkareth's chamber, I died from falling damage. This doesn't happen when running the raid, and doesn't seem to be related to a storyline aspect, so possibly a bug.

Update: this has happened in the raid a few times to me and several of my raid members during normal and heroic raid. There is some speculation that it's related to network lag, but it is still a bit of a mystery as it doesn't happen every time and hard to find a definitive commonality.

    Emberthal is in mourning. In truth, she has been grieving for Sarkareth for some time now. The way forward is for her to determine. We can only be there to support her along the way. There are shards of Sarkareth's signet scattered all over this room. Would you gather them?
