Regicide

Regicide is a quest for level 10-45. It is step 4 of 13 in The Four Horsemen I storyline. The quest's turn-in marker is in Arathi Highlands at 23.4, 61.4. It rewards 6,150 experience and money.

Description

Galen Trollbane is a fool if he thinks that he can betray the Ebon Blade.

I have had enough of his games. The fallen prince wastes our time playing the king of a ruined throne, while heroes sacrifice their lives to save this world.

If Galen Trollbane will not open the tomb of his father, then we must take the sword and do it ourselves.

If he chooses to resist, so be it.

Thassarian did not spawn after I killed Galen. I went back to the church and killed Galen again and he spawned correctly. No logging out required.

If you can't find him to kill him, he's in the church next to the crypt

FYI for anyone returning to this during Lemix:
If you accidentally take a death gate or portal back to the Infinite Bazaar, you can take the Karazhan Portal in Dalaran and fly back to the quest.
You'll get a warning that you're leaving the timeline, but nothing will happen.
As a note, I think the timeline warning about being sent back to Dalaran is bugged, so this may not be an option once they fix it.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

Death... and DecayLevel 10-45
My family has fought the Witherbark trolls for generations... their presence in Arathi has always been a curse upon the land. I want to drive them out of Stromgarde for good! Destroy their supplies and we shall give them no incentive to return. Blight their supplies...

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

The King RisesLevel 10-45
King Thoras was one of the greatest warriors this world has known. His people loved him and his enemies feared him. He only ever spoke truth, often saying the words others were afraid to speak. King Thoras lived a life of war and he certainly deserves the peace of death.
