Description

Witch Lord Morkurk is the leader of the Gordunni. He's the one that set up the Iron Horde trade and, even worse, my former boss gave him one of my best maces! We got to get my mace back! I mean... we need to kill him to secure the jovite for your arsenal! Morkurk is an accomplished mage so you better be prepared. Here, take the rocket pack and use it if you need to dodge an attack quickly or something. Also, if you happen to find my mace I'd like to get it back.

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.

  • Punching ThroughTalador · Level 20-40

    To secure the fortress we need to kill Witch Lord Morkurk, but I don't think we should go straight after him. His three lieutenants - Vorgorsh, Zulmork, and Cromaug - are all powerful mages, and all of them are fiercely loyal to Morkurk.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • The Only Way to TravelTalador · Level 20-40

    Call me cautious but I kept a few flares just in case we needed to evac. I'm glad that wasn't needed but we could still use the ride back to the arsenal. Are you ready, sir?
