I keep getting this on my characters while leveling in the pre-patch event for the War Within (Radiant Echoes). I've probably chosen this covenant on a couple alts, so maybe that's part of the problem, but it's just so random. Right now it appears to have appeared in my quest log at level 60, so perhaps that's the specific level it's given to you as of this current patch, but I wonder if anyone else has this happen with the Maldraxxus covenant or any other covenant at all?

That is every comment on this page.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Report to MevixLevel 60

    You have chosen well. The Necrolords, eternal protectors of the Shadowlands, must remain strong to ensure we may continue to fulfill the Purpose. Aid them as best you can. Speak with Secutor Mevix and begin your future with your covenant.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Welcome To Our HouseLevel 60

    Your ties to the other covenants had me doubting you would return. I see now that was foolish of me. Outsider or not, you have stood bravely beside the armies of Maldraxxus. I am confident the Primus would have welcomed you into our ranks with pride. One day, he might return as well.
