Description

If you've brought the High Exarch back to us, you are a welcome ally indeed. More is needed of you. You see our soldiers out there, fighting against all odds? Defend them. Slay the enemy. Strong words for a priest, perhaps, but every dead man'ari is one less blade at our throats. Show them that the Light protects its chosen even as it scorches the unfaithful. When you are finished, seek out Y'mera. She will have fewer troops, and more need of your abilities.

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.
