So at the end of the quest still inside the maw, I'm thinking "I got a pair of badass Morgraines, what can I do with this opportunity?"

Don't go try to take on Borr-Geth by yourself. They will just watch you get splat onto the ground.

Unlucky.

Dialogue surrounding this quest:

Spoiler
Highlord Darion Mograine says: Highlord Fordragon! We have escaped the Maw. Thank you for your aid.

Alexandros Mograine says: Draka! We must return to Maldraxxus at once. Margrave Krexus--

Baroness Draka says: Our margrave has been slain, Ashbringer. The Chosen need your blade, now more than ever.

Alexandros Mograine says: No... then my warning comes too late! We have been betrayed by one of our own!
Alexandros Mograine says: It was Vyraz who had me trapped within the Maw. There can be no doubt that it was his hand that struck down our margrave.

Description

I believe now it is time for you to leave. You are a Maw Walker, one who can activate the waystone between the Maw and the lands beyond. While your friends may not hold the same title, there is a way to send them through the gate. Souls can be connected. In theory, if you let someone attune themselves to your soul while you activate the waystone, you both should be able to leave. Even fleeting connections may produce some result. Go with your other two guests and see if my hypothesis is correct.

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.

  • Wake of AshesMaldraxxus · Level 10-55

    It feels as if the Maw itself is sentient... and taking notice of our presence. We must leave at once. Bolvar must be informed of what is happening here. I will bring my father with us. Lead the way out of here, <name>. With haste.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • A Soul SavedMaldraxxus · Level 10-55

    Vyraz... all this time... This cannot stand, <name>. We must avenge Krexus and cut him down! He must have sent you to the Maw expecting that you would never return. He underestimated you. A fatal mistake. Go with Mograine and claim Vyraz's head. I will warn our forces at the Seat of the Primus.
