Rewards1,050 XP

Description

You skim through the pages of the book, looking for anything of importance. On the last page you discover what appears to be frantic scribbling: Necrolords. At least a dozen by my count. Farms to west being used as some sort of horrible spawning glade for Scourge. Row upon row of victims. I think they're on to me. Made a dash for the hold. I won't be captured alive. Dreadvenom hemotoxin. If they decide to bite into me, they'll be in for a surprise. Take this information back to Barthus.

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.

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Untold TruthsBorean Tundra · Level 10-30

    We are here by order of Varimathras! The mission of the Shadowstalkers is a simple one: spy. Well, spy with a little assassination on the side. One of my best field agents has gone missing. I haven't heard from him in days, which has left me fearing the worst. No, not death! Death would be ideal.

    <Barthus tears out the last page and rolls it up.> Take this to Hellscream at once! In the meantime, I'm going to send a team to scout out the farms. Be sure to tell Hellscream that we're going to need reinforcements.
