Sanctuary Under Siege

Sanctuary Under Siege is a Horde-only quest for level 30-60 in Vol'dun. It is step 13 of 13 in the Storming the Spire storyline, the final step. The quest's turn-in marker is in Vol'dun at 27.1, 52.6. It rewards 1 reputation reward, 4,100 experience and money.

Description

I fear that Emperor Korthek was not lying when he boasted of his foolish plan.

If General Jakra'zet attacked the Sanctuary of the Devoted while we were away, there is a good chance that he now has everything needed to resurrect Mythrax.

We must hurry to the Sanctuary and stop Jakra'zet. Mythrax must not be reborn!

Go to the closest windrider near the
/way 47.35 35.19 Closest Fligh point
And fly to the Sanctuary of the Devoted.
If you forgot to take Sanctuary of the Devoted windrider before, just run there by foot.

Vorrik is on the 2-nd floor of the temple.
Enter the temple and you will see a huge stairs up from both sides, take one and follow the road.

This quest is so funny. I remember when doing the quest where we put the second key in the sanctuary with the first key, that it didn't seem like the best idea to have these together. This makes sense for ease of moving the story along, but makes Vorrik and company look really silly. Like at least trying to keep them secure in separate places to find out both places were attacked doesn't make them look as naive.

That is every comment on this page.
