The Fallen Pillar

The Fallen Pillar is a quest for level 20-30 in Sholazar Basin. It is step 53 of 65 in the Sholazar Basin storyline. The quest's turn-in marker is in Sholazar Basin at 65.1, 60.3. It rewards 2,050 experience.

Description

The titans shaped entire life forms here, fostering their unfettered growth.

The five crystal pillars that surround the basin emanate pure lifeforce. The Scourge should've never been able to penetrate the basin, but one of the pillars was destroyed.

Go to the Lifeblood Pillar and see if you can find out what happened. No undead would've been able to approach the pillar, so keep your eyes out for living intruders. You'll find what remains of the pillar directly south of here.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • A Hero's BurdenSholazar Basin · Level 20-30

    Perhaps the crystals will ward off the undead gradually, but there is one more thing that must be done. We need to find the leader of these undead and kill him to ensure there's no one to push the wretches back upon us. If my suspicions are correct, he will be somewhere inside the fallen pillar...

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Salvaging Life's StrengthSholazar Basin · Level 20-30

    The Lifeblood Pillar was toppled over with great force, sending the very earth into an upheaval. The elementals that wander the sundered shard carry with them the very life essence that gave the pillar its strength. I cannot allow this energy to be wasted, for only four pillars remain.
