Dammit, Blizzard why do you do this to me. We're supposed to be playing the heroes of the story, and you're making the Ebon Blade almost as bad as the Legion. I've managed to get through the rest of the Death Knight quests without doing anything too terrible. I even invaded the paladins' class hall without killing anyone, thanks to an invisibility potion. But now, after I rescued and befriended the Thorignir, now you want me to kill one of them, a sapient being from a friendly faction, and raise her as an undead slave. If I weren't such a completionist, and if there weren't a mount and three pets locked behind doing this, I would drop this quest and never look back.

Description

It's time to call the mother, the true reason we came. She is strong, her sheer will and strength allowing her to face this peak in order to watch over the remains of her brood. While the Thorignir is a grand sight, I like my dragons a little more bony. She must die first. Remember the pyre where we met? She is its guardian, as the spirit was at the peak. If we light it, she will come.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Thorim's FlameLevel 45

    Not too long ago, the Drekirjar and the Thorignir respected each other. This only changed when Skovald came into power. An ancient Drekirjar spirit watches over this peak, which seems to be a sacred graveyard of some sort.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • On Daumyr's WingsLevel 45

    The time is nigh, <name>. With these new dragons in our army, we are prepared for our assault on the Broken Shore. A large detachment of demons have appeared near one of our camps, and there are far too many of them for any of our allies to overcome.
