What to do

StorylineThe House of Rituals, step 25 of 25
RewardsAcolyte's Guise, 77g 22s, 12,250 XP

Description

We now have no choice but to make a strategic retreat. Kel'Thuzad is far too fortified within the necropolis, and if Ninadar is his ally, then the House of Rituals is firmly in his grasp. It will take nothing short of an army to save the margrave now.

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.
