Description

Hidden memories, spirits attackin' us for investigating, and a long road of bodies in da wake of me makin' Sylvanas warchief. I be thinkin' it time ya speak with Ol' Bwonsamdi. Odd as it sounds, dis don't seem like his style. Dat don't mean he not be behind it. Ya best work with Talanji. From what little I been seein', da death loa got a soft spot for her highness. You can confront Bwonsamdi at his necropolis in Nazmir. Just... be respectful.

  • The Loa of DeathLevel 50

    Bwonsamdi is a dangerous loa, but even I do not believe he whispered to Vol'jin on his deathbed. To appoint Sylvanas sounds, well... he is not fond of de undead. And from what I have seen of de warchief, she is no fan of death.
