Description

How did the silithid survive the blade of Sargeras?!

I've never encountered a species that can adapt to changes in the environment as quickly as the silithid!

There's gotta be a way to tame these suckers! Harness their evolutionary biology for our profit!

We gotta start training 'em young! Forget about the old crusty adults, we need babies!

Steal me as many of the silithid larvae as you can carry, and I'll find a way to train 'em!

First quest might only pop up after killing Argus once on that account. Relog should help, if it does not show up for you or close your client completely, if you have done step 9 and The Speaker's Call does not trigger (as described here).
You can switch the zone phasing at Zidormi, if you can't see your quest giver in Silithus.

If you just want to empower your artifacts quickly, you can skip the optional quests.

There are three silithid hives in Silithus that shown on minimap.
The closes one is Hive Regal - located southwest of the village.
Find neutral [item=156795]s and collect them by clicking onto them.
There's also rare silithid may be found at this hive - [npc=132580]

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.

  • The Source of PowerSilithus: The Wound · Level 45

    The silithid are all riled up and stronger than ever! My guess is that they are feeding off of some kind of power beneath the ground. Probably near the blade of Sargeras! I've been ordered to study the effects that this mysterious power is having on the sillithid.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • The Twilight SurvivorSilithus: The Wound · Level 45

    Silithus used to be overrun with members of the Twilight's Hammer. The cult was presumed to be exterminated, but it has always survived in the shadows. Their numbers have dwindled, but the cult remains no less fanatical than at their peak.
