During the final confrontation with Illidan, Maiev had our backs.

During the final confrontation with Arthas, Tirion had our backs.

When the time comes to face down Deathwing the Destroyer, Aspect of Death...I want these guys at my side.

Make it happen, Blizz.

What to do

StorylineBadlands, step 53 of 53
RewardsGenuine Deathwing Fang, Martek's Stick of Truthiness, Theldurin's Fist, 6,200 XP

Description

These two have no idea how to tell a story. Theldurin's story was too short, and Lucien's tale was a little too tall, if you catch my drift. Also, neither of their stories had action and fans admiring my awesomeness in them. Sit back, {name}. I'll tell you what really happened that day.

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.
