Description

King Anduin has not been found inside Torghast. I fear we could spend eternity searching those endless corridors to no avail.

We must know what fate has befallen him. To peer into the tower represents a grave risk, yet we have little choice.

Stand with me, <name>. We will use the broken Helm of Domination to see into that hellish place.

Perhaps together we can hold back the hungry darkness.

    <Thrall's brow is furrowed.> We were speaking with the Highlord when he was struck by a jolt of agony. He said he could see something stirring in the Maw. Inside the Jailer's tower. The pain seems to be getting worse. We need to find out what he's sensing.
