For Quest Collector:

When you create an Allied Death Knight, you'll be put in Icecrown. Go up the stair to Lich King, you'll be given Death's Power Grows. Swear Fealty to Lich King, then you will get: Alliance: Defender of Azeroth or Horde Defender of Azeroth. Speak to [npc=29246] and report to duty, he will create Death Gate, you'll be in Org or SW.

Once in SW / Org, go to Command Board to turn in Alliance: Defender of Azeroth or Horde Defender of Azeroth.

After that is done, USE your [spell=317464] in your spellbook and it will take ya to Naxx where Death Knight resides. Go to [npc=29246] and from there, you will get Runeforging 101.

If you have recently race changed to an allied race and you see this on your class order hall when you open your map, this quest is NOT at the Legion order hall but in the og Acherus in the plaguelands. If you go/fly there, you will be able to accept it from Mograine.

Description

As knights of the Ebon Blade, we must always be prepared for a variety of martial situations. To this end, the dark art of runeforging is yours to command. With it, runes of great power can be engraved upon your weapons. Above us in the Heart of Acherus are runeforges. Visit one and use your power to imbue a weapon with a rune of power.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Defender of AzerothLevel 10-90

    An excellent choice. Troubling times come. As one of the chosen few, it is both your burden and privilege to defend our world. It is a great honor. But also know you will be met with the scorn of the ignorant. Oftentimes, mortals are incapable of seeing past our fearsome appearance.
