Description

Please! We have to stop the Naakroans. Three of us were sent by cartel Om to install a research machine. It was only meant to help study extinct plants. At first, the Wastelanders were polite, even curious--until we tried to leave. They forced us to modify the machine. Om'musa refused and they killed him. Om'baladh and I obeyed. We should have refused as well. Once we finished, the Wastelanders let their guards down. Om'baladh said to run, so I did. He was right behind me. Please--find him.

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.

  • A New DevouringK'aresh · Level 80

    This isn't a temple anymore--it's an abattoir. They tear souls from captives to power their rituals. Right now, they're pouring stolen energy into our machine. I think I know why. With the modifications we made, overloading the device with arcane energy will create a massive feedback loop.
