Description

{name}, Faerin went to light the dawntower. She said it keeps the light of the Sacred Flame shining upon Hallowfall. Kyron is there as well. It's hard to imagine that any beacon could outshine their star Beledar, but I am eager to see this new expression of the Light. Meet me by the dawntower and we can see how the Sacred Flame of the Arathi helps to safeguard these long-lost cousins of mine.

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.
