so I'm a bit of an arachnophobe IRL, but 99% of WoW spiders don't do anything to me. Most spiders in Azj-Kahet are nerubians, and I feel like those are ants or beetles, not spiders.

But the legs crawling from that ceiling at the end of this quest made me physically recoil and move my character to the farthest corner of the room...

Description

I don't require vengeance on my behalf, but I would like vengeance for all of my friends that were eaten. I didn't think the Horror of Xesh was real, but she is. Xishirra. A shadow of a nightmare, making a brood of monsters while she stays out of reach. The horror is ancient, and beyond us, but we can still make her pay! Pull hard on a web strand if you need to, and deal with whatever comes. We'll escape after some justice is had!

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • ...And Now I'm ArachnophobicAzj-Kahet · Level 78-80

    Who is there? Someone? Did I imagine you? I am Albert. I was a Pathfinder once. Now that I'm blind, I see no path. It seems wrong to call myself Pathfinder Henson. I can hear, though. I can hear them eating. They eat the fresh parts. My eyes. My insides. It hurts all the time.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Maggots in your EyesAzj-Kahet · Level 78-80

    <Albert is no longer alive. All that remains is his head, still full of maggots. Taking him back to the Pathfinders seems like the right thing to do.>
