My friends,
We have lived in fear long enough.
Beledar has been trying to show us the way.
The Light has forsaken us. In the Light's glare, are all watched. Exposed.
In the darkness, we are free. We are afraid of the dark only because the Light wants us to be.
Beledar has shown us the way. No more fear.
Instead, we must become fear.

Tabita,
I'm leaving. I'm tired. I don't expect you to understand.
The Order of Night gathers strength. They hide in caves, in towns, and linger with our greatest enemies.
They even have a base beneath one of their precious towers. The army has no idea.
The Light has made us all blind.
Not me. Not anymore.
Page 2: What have we fought for this whole time? Why are we here?
Does Beledar even know we exist? Does it love us for our devotion?
Or does it hate us for holding it back? What if its true form is darkness?
We've toiled in the Light for years. What good has it done?
We die. Picked off in the shadows, one by one.
Perhaps we should listen to what Beledar is trying to tell us. There's comfort, in the shadows.
I'm tired, Tabita.
I know what this means. I know we will end up hurting our own. Hurting you.

Quest
The Darkened Flame
A World of Warcraft quest in Hallowfall. Facts and objectives from the current retail game data.
The highest voted Wowhead comments for this page. They are community notes, not TheWoWDB comments.
Parts of the quest don't make sense if you play a character than can wield the light.
You could just help to restore the flame with your own holy light powers.

Description
This... Order of Night, as they call themselves, did some foul ritual to turn the tower's flame to darkness. I know not what. We should investigate.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Shadow upon Shadow
<Faerin's wide eyes dart around in surprise.> What just happened? Did you see that shadow? And the oil well... it's gone dark? I've never seen anything like this before. Could it be the nearby dawntower? Hurry!
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Ever Deeper Shadow
When I reached for the Flame, I felt the overwhelming hopelessness and despair that had been poured into it. It pains me, but... my light alone is not enough to banish these shadows. And so, we take a more direct path.
