Description

The Twilight cowards have captured and killed many red dragons, but one's still breathing. Do you remember Lirastrasza? She's chained nearby and we're going to free her. But first, we need something sharp enough to cut her free. There's an old ettin named Blindeye the Guardian. He stands watch at the Altar of Ascension to the south. He has a purely-wrought Elementium axe. I wonder if that's Cho'gall's "ultimate" weapon?

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.
