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.

  • Field SeanceLevel 50

    If these souls have information we need, we will take it from them. Even after being shattered by the Banshee, the helm fragment given to you by Bolvar holds the power of Domination. With it, we should be able to take control of the spirits long enough to find out what they know.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Soul in HandLevel 50

    My instincts were correct. Whatever dark magic binds these souls together also keeps them more or less coherent. It will take time, but we will find out what this thing knows. My interrogation will require use of the helm, but rest assured I will return it to your care.

The storyline at a glance

Through the Shattered Sky has 23 steps, from Shadowlands: A Chilling Summons to Stand as One.

Maps its steps are placed on (steps per map): The Maw (21), Icecrown Citadel (2).

Steps, storylines and map placement from the client’s QuestLine, prerequisite and QuestPOI data; neighbouring quest text is Blizzard’s own (quest API), shortened to its opening sentences.
