Description

There is something curious about this scroll. It appears to be an empty page to the untrained eye, but I can see a shimmer of runes appear briefly when I hold it up to the light. As with most demonic runes, I will need fel blood to undo the magic that's been used to conceal whatever message is within this scroll.

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.

    As promised, here is the crescent key that will open my family's lockboxes, though nothing of value remains. I trust whatever you find you'll deliver to Delas? Our ancestor's things, whatever their worth, should remain in our family.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Felstone DestructionLevel 45

    <Delas' mouth drops open as the scroll falls from her hands and onto the floor.> This cannot be... the runes... they detail a pact between the Burning Legion and my ancestors.
