Quest Log

The Lexicon Demonica

The Lexicon Demonica is a dungeon quest for level 25-30 in Shadowmoon Valley. It is step 53 of 147 in the Shadowmoon Valley storyline. The quest's turn-in marker is in Terokkar Forest at 77.6, 38.7. It rewards 8,250 experience and money.

Description

Recreating the enchantments on the blade requires several spells to be spoken in demonic.

It's not something I was taught during my training as an apprentice, but there's no way around it. There's a book, called the Lexicon Demonica, that will provide most of the words I need, but it's in the hands of a powerful Shadow Council warlock.

Deep in the halls of Auchindoun's Shadow Labyrinth, it is held by Grandmaster Vorpil. Do whatever you must to secure the book and bring it to me.

The Illidari-Bane questline is a series of quests that leads to some cool anti-demon weapons. It involves entering many level-70 instances, so you probably want to do the prerequisites before then. David Wayne is also rumored to be Mograine of the Ashbringer.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Fresh from the MechanarShadowmoon Valley · Level 25-30

    Working with the ingots you brought is going to require a lot of heat -- rather more than a conventional forge can supply. I'm going to need a supplemental heat source for the forge and there are very few things in Outland that can supply that kind of power.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Underworld LoamShadowmoon Valley · Level 25-30

    The frame that you brought me earlier will not be sufficient to hold molten metal without reinforcement. A rare kind of earth can be used to cool and imbue the frame, giving the adamantite an unnatural strength. Underworld loam, as the earth is known, is accorded great value among the naga.
