Description

Ikiss was once a respected sage among the Adherents, but his search for the truth of Terokk's fall led to his own banishment.

Ikiss became obsessed with Terokk, even claiming to be the old hero reborn. He commands the Sethekk, promising untold power in a new age of darkness.

Know this: Ikiss is no Talon King. Slay the delusional fool, and search him for anything useful. He is known to collect powerful trinkets.

[npc=18473] is making an appearance in Warlords again, he was previously known as a boss in [zone=3791] in The Burning Crusade.

Also, the end of a quest desctription is a wink to him and players, as he had a pretty humorous line about some trinkets (even better, doesn't actually drop any)

<squawk> Trinkets, yes. Pretty trinkets! <squawk> Power, great power. <squawk> Power in trinkets! <squawk>

Cool to see so many familiar characters return in Draenor.

Turn in for this and the other quests Anzu gives with this are at the northern point of Sethekk Hollow, just below that small circle lake NOT at where he gives them to you initially. Quest maps are bugged at the moment and I spent a long time trying to figure out where you turn them in.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Servants of a Dead GodSpires of Arak · Level 30-40

    Even in death, Sethe exerts influence. The Sethekk cult was born of this influence: led by a false king in service of the dead god. Silence their prophets, for they seek a future of black seas and blighted skies. Defeat their chosen champions, for they have pledged themselves to a lie.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Sethe, the Dead GodSpires of Arak · Level 30-40

    The time has come to put an end to Sethe. I killed him before, and with your help I shall do it again. Ready yourself for a fight - the cultists will not stand idly by while we stamp out their god.
