Description

To perform the ritual you've requested - and perhaps some more rituals in the near future - we're going to need blood. The Blasted Lands are filled with every type of reagent we might need for our blood magic... it's just a matter of the correct combination.

<Lynnore quickly confers with Drazial for a moment.>

Basilisks and hyenas, even amounts. And we're going to need plenty of it. Head east, to the center of the Blasted Lands. And don't forget... you can use that teleporter!

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Attune the BloodstoneBlasted Lands · Level 15-30

    I admit, we haven't picked the most... convenient of spots to perform our studies, especially for passing adventurers who wish to enter and leave at will. Our agreement with the ogres is tenuous, and I'm afraid we can't convince them not to attack you when you draw near.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Blood RitualBlasted Lands · Level 15-30

    Our goal is to find the demon hunter, Loramus Thalipedes. Let me know when you are ready to begin the blood ritual, and then stand back.
