What to do

StorylineCorlain, step 2 of 9
RewardsRise-Breacher's Band, First-Watcher's Lantern, Waycrest Inquisitor's Shield, 51g 48s, 10,200 XP

Description

As you can see, the coven has conscripted my own guardsmen into their service. Though I am loath to battle my own, these men are too corrupted by the coven's magic to be saved. For them, death is the only mercy we can give. The Inquisitors and I can handle the regiment stationed outside. We will need you to find and take out their leader. Your Inquisitors await your command, {class}. Are you ready to take the tower?

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.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • The Road to CorlainDrustvar · Level 20-60

    Lord and Lady Waycrest lay trapped in Waycrest Manor. Before we can reach them, however, we must brave through the city of Corlain... which is firmly in the grasp of the Heartsbane. Our first course of action should be to set up a forward outpost.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • A Weather EyeDrustvar · Level 20-60

    It would be wise to get a lay of the land before we put together a plan of action. Inquisitor Notley is an expert falconer, and a reliable scout. He utilizes an ancient relic to see through the eyes of his falcon, allowing him to survey great distances.
