Description

Sigryn must be reached before she can confront Odyn, but our path is blocked. Odyn will close the Gates of Valor as soon as he becomes aware of Sigryn's assault. You will have to find another way into the Halls. I have no talent with portals, but your friends at the Kirin Tor seem to be very adept. Go now to them, and find a way through. I thank you for what you've done to help Sigryn this far, {class}. I only hope we can save her from herself.

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.

  • Unanswered QuestionsLevel 45

    What is done, is done. There are none left to challenge the throne of the Tideskorn. My brother's words still haunt me, though. If Eyir knows who ordered my family killed, I deserve to know it. Come, let us return.

After this quest

  • A Gift From the SixLevel 45

    <name>, without you some of the Legion's strongest agents would still be roaming Azeroth, threatening to undermine all that we've accomplished in this war. Such a deed merits more than mere recognition.
