What to do
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!

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.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Attune the Bloodstone
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 Ritual
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.
