Description

We need you focused, {name}. We're barely holding The Shadow Vault as it is. As you can see, we've greatly angered the Lich King. <The baron chuckles.> I need you to speak with Duke Lankral. He's in charge here now. You'll find him inside the vault building proper. Were I you, I would not keep him waiting.

The Shadow VaultIcecrown · Level 25-30
It sounds like you did extremely well. And you secured three very important allies for the Knights of the Ebon Blade in the process. <Koltira gazes down at the map on the floor.> You should head back.
