Description

We have received word from Highlord Fordragon urging you to return to him in Oribos at once. All I know is it pertains to the Maw. You should go to him with haste. Anything involving that dark place must be our top priority.

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.

Oribos Quest turn-in no plotted point

Elysian Hold Objective area no plotted point

Nearby on the Oribos map

Quests whose map markers the client places closest to this one on Oribos, nearest first. Distances are straight lines between the markers.

Getting there

Flight points closest to the quest’s turn-in marker on Oribos:

OribosAlliance and Horde · about 170 yards east

From the turn-in, the objective areas lie:

Into TorghastThe Maw · Level 60
The bond to your covenant is growing stronger, <name>. Good. The power lies within you to venture into Torghast and rescue our allies. You saw Baine Bloodhoof while assisting the broker in the Maw. Perhaps this Ve'nari knows a way to breach the Jailer's tower and find the chieftain.
