I had this quest and for whatever reason I was not at 'The Crucible' (platform above Oribos). I could find no map mark or NPC to help me get there.

Until I found that Tal-Inara, in The Enclave, could send me to The Crucible to complete the quest.

At no time in the last two expansions did it ever feel that Blizzard was going to give Sylvanas the story she deserved, it was like being part of a bad book that you already knew the ending to, over the course of more than 4 years.

From the time I began maining an undead years and years ago on this game, there was always a hope that someday they would allow her to be a true leader, and not further the storyline making her into a sleazy conniving evil character, but they did exactly that.

It doesn't matter that they made her "remorseful" or "peaceful" or whatever you want to call it, if this were to end now she has all the appearances of an evil character weakened to the will of the Alliance. At what point does Blizzard plan to throw one of the Alliance leaders to the wolves as the "bad guy" again? Hasn't happened since Arthas, and even that was a stretch by comparison to what happened here with Sylvannas. It's happened now multiple times to Horde leaders.

From a story writing standpoint, Sylvanas never had a chance to be what she could have been, and that is truly sad. We the foresaken can only hope there is some sort of rise to power, where a true story for her can emerge, because this was absolutely atrocious.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • A Long WalkZereth Mortis · Level 60

    The Arbiter awaits us. Though few are allowed within the Crucible, several who hail from Azeroth have been granted permission to bear witness as he passes judgment on Sylvanas. Yet we are far from the only ones affected by all the carnage Sylvanas has wrought.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Penance and RenewalZereth Mortis · Level 60

    When I became the new Arbiter, I vowed to myself that I would listen to those around me, to take their counsel into consideration before passing eternal judgment. I have an inkling of what Tyrande intends for Sylvanas. Her fury is tempered by wisdom, and I trust in the decision she has made.

The storyline at a glance

Epilogue: Judgment has 5 steps, from The Jailer's Defeat to Penance and Renewal.

Maps its steps are placed on (steps per map): Oribos (3), Zereth Mortis (1), Oribos (1).
