Quest Log

Sacred Ground

Sacred Ground is a quest for level 10-45. It is step 3 of 6 in The Ashbringer storyline. It rewards 6,150 experience and money.

Description

We must ensure that those buried here are never again disturbed. Their spirits' very presence only further perturbs the Light.

This cannot continue.

I must maintain this barrier to ensure none of the wayward souls enter the Lightbringer's resting place. If you can purify the graves themselves, this madness can finally cease.

Rewards

Money20 gold22 silver
Experience6,150 XP

To purify the graveyards you need to look for interactable headstone.

Personally I struggled with seeing it at first, so if you are having an issue finding them, go stand on the quest marker dot on your minimap and go through the headstones with your cursor until you see the interaction hand.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Keeping the PeaceLevel 10-45

    The lost souls roaming the cemetery grounds have been drawn to the realm of the living in the wake of the Light's disturbance. In truth, they merely seek comfort... as we all do in these dark times since Highlord Tirion's passing.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • The Light RevealsLevel 10-45

    We seek aid not from a living friend, but one who passed long ago. Uther the Lightbringer was more attuned to the subtleties of the Light than any paladin I've ever known. If we reach out to him, he may be able to help us find the Ashbringer. The ceremony has been prepared.

The storyline at a glance

The Ashbringer has 6 steps, from Seeking Guidance to The Search for the Highlord.

Maps its steps are placed on (steps per map): Western Plaguelands (4), Eastern Plaguelands (2).

Other storylines on the Western Plaguelands map

Steps, storylines and map placement from the client’s QuestLine, prerequisite and QuestPOI data; neighbouring quest text is Blizzard’s own (quest API), shortened to its opening sentences.
