TheWoWDBRun to Mannoroc Coven and use the big ring portals near the road. A level 38 Doomguard appears and attacks you. Defeat him to seal the portal. The portals respawn after about five minutes, so if you don't want to explore the coven, locate three portals and make a loop. Be careful of patrols, several Infernos, Summoners and Doomguards have long patrol routes that take them right next to several portals.

Bracer of Portals, Spaulders of Sealing, Binding Staff, 10g 50s, 5,150 XPDescription
Here it is - the Hand of Iruxos. Got it from one of the Burning Blade leaders myself. You must possess it if the demon portals at Mannoroc Coven are to be banished... which is what I now ask you to do. With the demon threat increasing we must close these portals to stem the tide of demons to this world.
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.
- Infernal Encroachment
The demons are on the move, <race>! If nothing is done, we'll be overrun in a matter of weeks. I've just returned from Mannoroc Coven, where the infernals there are falling from the sky! We need to at least buy ourselves some time. Get down there and pick up where I left off!
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Maurin's Concoction
<Maurin carefully seals his concoction into the hollow kodo horns.> Here you are, <class>. Bring these to Karnum. It's up to him how he wants to use them on the naga. I'll be watching to gauge the effectiveness of my formula!
