(Alliance) For some reason Owynn was not showing a question mark when we reached the entrance of the cave. I ran in and killed Grubnor Wargut, and the quest finally popped. I ran back out, completed quest and the cinematic started. You will have to kill Grubnor again and then enter portal.

Description

Okay, now down to business. The Bloodmaul have unearthed some monstrous artifact I've heard them call the Soulgrinder. It's a nasty bit o' sorcery that their chief uses to give himself incredible magical power, but it comes at the cost of needing to feed upon souls to maintain it. Every day, more and more corpses pile up from the slaves killed to maintain it. We need to go find Borgal and get rid of this Soulgrinder!

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Gearing UpLevel 40

    When I was captured they took my gear and left me in rags. My mace is being used to crack stones and they're even using me best dagger as a dinner fork! I'd hate to know what happened to me armor but I hope its still usable.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Cleansing the SoulsLevel 40

    Not all spirits are destroyed by the Soulgrinder. Some souls manage to survive more or less intact like myself. Others have become twisted and maddened. End their misery, take my soul shard and use it to purify them.
