Preparations for the Underworld

Description

Quetz'lun may be dead, but I can still feel her spirit lingering in the underworld at the altar. We have to find a way to get you to her.

Luckily for us, I just happen to have a supply of former supplicants at hand who are no longer in need of their sacred adornments. Both my subduers and claws are likely to still be wearing them.

Bring the adornments to me and I'll draw upon their energy to enable you to cross over into Quetz'lun's underworld nightmare.

Where to go

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • I Sense a DisturbanceZul'Drak · Level 20-30

    There's something wrong with Quetz'lun, the wind serpent goddess. What it is exactly I cannot sense, but I do know that her altar has been overrun with powerful creatures. I'm going to send you there on the back of one of my children, which you saved.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Seek the Wind Serpent GoddessZul'Drak · Level 20-30

    You are prepared, but I'm not certain that you're ready for what is to come. When you cross back over into Quetz'lun's altar area, you will enter the realm of the dead. From what I can feel of it, it's not going to be pleasant. Try not to be distracted by what you see in there.
