Description

With or without Xal'atath, the Shadowguard have long been a thorn in my side. It would be wise to take out as many as we can on this rock. I still do not trust her, but we must focus on the enemy we can defeat right now.

Do not relent, <name>. If you see any Shadowguard, cut them down. A battle against them today saves us a battle against them tomorrow.

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.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • The Sands of K'areshK'aresh · Level 80

    My people have fought across every inch of the ruins of our world. We gave our oath to King Salhadaar and he rewarded us by sending the Shadowguard to hunt us down. Salhadaar is long dead, but we knew the Shadowguard would return.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Like a Knife Through AetherK'aresh · Level 80

    Very good, my champion. You are a swift and sharp blade of destruction. We will put all that power to use now. We will slaughter the Shadowguard that seek to raise Dimensius, and the machines created to feed his insatiable hunger. The Shadowguard must have a Reshii Ribbon among their spoils.
