Description

The Lifeblood Pillar was toppled over with great force, sending the very earth into an upheaval.

The elementals that wander the sundered shard carry with them the very life essence that gave the pillar its strength. I cannot allow this energy to be wasted, for only four pillars remain.

Head to the sundered shard, to the southeast, and seek the lifeblood elementals.

Use this gem on their remains to recover their rampant energy. We'll need the energy to heal the land when all this is over.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • The Fallen PillarSholazar Basin · Level 20-30

    The titans shaped entire life forms here, fostering their unfettered growth. The five crystal pillars that surround the basin emanate pure lifeforce. The Scourge should've never been able to penetrate the basin, but one of the pillars was destroyed.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Cultist IncursionSholazar Basin · Level 20-30

    <It appears the Avatar of Freya was right. The undead were not able to enter Sholazar Basin before the Lifeblood Pillar was brought down -- they used their living agents from the Cult of the Damned instead.> <You'd best warn her about the Lich King's living agents within Sholazar Basin.>
