I must say, I like how when the widow says that the queen is just a husk and would be better if they had killed her Voss says "you're wrong.", speaks a lot with her storyline that in life and even when Voss was just risen she would have agreed, but she has embraced undeath and found purpose and meaning in it, even while knowing she's "unnatural".

Description

I could hear the explosions from here. That'll buy us some time. Maybe I'd even be relieved, if this had gone less poorly. Y'tekhi is secured in the back, where they can't overhear anything. Whatever Xal'atath did... it hasn't worn off yet. The Weaver has people looking into it, but the outlook is grim. Alleria is going to want a status report. Good luck.

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.

  • Manufactured MutinyAzj-Kahet · Level 80

    We don't have the firepower to dismantle their whole manufacturing operation, but what we do have is two leftover vials of anger pheromones. Let's make them count. There's a siege marshal and a quartermaster overseeing the preparations and giving everyone orders.
