Kill things in the area that have Rift in their name.

Thanks for this info. There is a pool to the East, at about 64, 61 where there are pairs of Rift Shades around the shores.

That is every comment on this page.

What to do

StorylineCall of the Goddess, step 3 of 21

Rewards31g 90s, 12,150 XP

Description

The presence of the goddess reverberates through everything in the Rift of Aln. The voice is too powerful for haranir to resist. In mere minutes, one of our flock would be lost forever. There are, however, ways to protect oneself for a short time. Kill the rejects that crawl up from the rift and gather the Alndust from which they are created. I can show Orweyna how to craft a short-term solution for entering the rift.

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 Hunter AwaitsHarandar · Level 83-88
I have warned Orweyna of the dangers and madness that lay within the Rift of Aln, but she believes it is her only path forward. I envy her faith. Someone can help show her the way: the Shul'ka. The Hunters of Shadows.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

Consequences of Our DutyHarandar · Level 83-88
You must see with your own eyes the effects that the Rift of Aln can have on any haranir. Even those who stand guard over the border are oft affected by its call. Take this. I use it as an emergency salve to help those who are stricken of the dangers of Aln.
