Description

From what the captive dredger told you, it seems Thrall has been taken deep into Torghast. The torments he is enduring must be unimaginable. We need to learn where he is being held before the trail goes cold. The tower is vast and perilous. Search where you are able. Bring back any clues you find. Go carefully, {name}. The Jailer's eye is upon you.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Finding a WitnessThe Maw · Level 60

    You have rescued two of our allies from Torghast, but Anduin and Thrall have yet to be found. That tower's corridors are vast... seemingly endless. You could spend an eternity wandering those unholy halls. In your expeditions, you have encountered many unfortunate prisoners.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Torment Chamber: ThrallThe Maw · Level 60

    Using the totem you recovered, I will alter the Attuned Shard to guide you to Thrall's location. <Bolvar hands you the crystalline object.> Take care. You know the torments Baine and Lady Proudmoore endured in that accursed place. Thrall's confinement will be no less harrowing. Beware.
