Description

According to our colleagues, this cave was used to test prospective scalecommanders. Excuse me. It either tested them or housed their remains. The trials were so difficult that it usually amounted to the same thing. We're searching for an ancient scalecommander referenced in our records as "The Cleaving Blade": a promising young dracthyr whose future ended abruptly somewhere near this cave. Perhaps we'll discover how their story ends.

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.

    Ok, the goggles should be calibrated. Looks like the confluence point is right here on the ledge. I wonder what happened to him?
