Description

I think I understand what he was trying to show us, {name}. I feel a surge of power building ahead. They must be cultivating the Void, calling it here. We need to stop them before they plunge this entire city into shadow. Find the source and cut it off by any means necessary. Locus-Walker and I have unfinished business to attend to.

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.

  • Throwing ShadeEredath · Level 45

    That was Locus-Walker. He taught me all that I know about the Void, and he still has more to teach me. If he is here, then the ethereals' presence only intrigues me further. I had thought him the only one of his kind, but now that I have seen another tangling with the Void...

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • The Shadowguard IncursionEredath · Level 45

    As you have surely gathered by now, a certain subset of my people have tragically succumbed to the call of the Void. I had hoped to find more who possess the necessary strength of mind. I am disappointed to find such an utter lack of resistance. It cannot be helped.
