Description
My brother and his cultists are engaged in some kind of ritual at the far end of the cave. I tried to intervene, but my brother has left magical wards to block the way. If you can find a way past them, we may be able to stop him in time!
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.
- Where it's Thinnest
Though I have never heard of this "Nethersworn" cult, what this manifesto speaks of can't be good. I do have a theory, however.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- One Step Behind
It looks like Raest is out of our reach, but at least his cultists should prove less of a threat. We should return to the Kirin Tor. They should be able to help us plan our next move.
