Description

The Maw is changing, mortal. And with change comes opportunity. The Jailer has pulled a realm that was hidden deep within the Shadowlands into the Maw. It is a location of some interest to me, but I do not wish to approach it alone. The Mawsworn are swarming the area, you see. There must be something of value that they seek. I have a safe enclave nearby. Accompany me there and I may be able to help you find that waystone you're looking for. Do we have a deal?

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.

  • Link to the MawOribos · Level 60

    The Fatescribe is certain that a second waystone has emerged in the Maw. It falls to you to locate it. I will create an anchor here in Oribos that links to your anima. Once you attune yourself to the waystone, this anchor will be bound to it.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Korthia, the City of SecretsOribos · Level 60

    We are on the threshold of attaining our desires, Maw Walker. Your grand waystone cannot be far off. Of course, my needs are much more modest. A bit of useful information here, a priceless relic there... I will survey the area to see if there is anything useful--or hazardous--nearby.
