Description

After Belo'vir's death, I contemplated opening this vault. I talked myself out of it. A key for a shattered lock serves no purpose. And yet, even as Kael'thas tried to open it with his key, I couldn't help but wonder... It doesn't matter, {name}. I am nearly done with the master ward on the upper floor. Meet me there. No doubt, Belo'vir took extra steps to safeguard his vault.

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.

  • Unraveling the WardsLevel 80-90

    The Magicules, the orbs you see on the relic, were never meant to be severed from the Omnium. By tearing one out, Dar'Khan likely sent the artifact into a frenzied state before it shut down. Even if the Void Magicule is restored, the Omnium will need recalibrating.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Return to the OmniumLevel 80-90

    Well, now that we've recovered the piece Dar'Khan stole, we are one step closer to restoring the Omnium. Hopefully your endeavor with Rommath was a little less troublesome? When you're ready, return to the Magisters' Terrace. I will clean up anything left behind here and join you shortly.
