Description

Within the Arbiter's Chamber are gateways to the infinite realms of the Shadowlands. As each soul was judged, a gateway would be opened to the appropriate afterlife.

But since the... incident, all gateways have remained closed. Dormant.

We dare not use the Arbiter's sacred chamber for so mundane a purpose as travel. But here in the upper ring of the city, gateways can be configured for your needs.

Before us stands the means to activate a gateway. Together we can channel the anima to power it.

The Shadowlands intro quests are some of the worst. You spend most of them standing around listening to slow talking NPC's and then follow slow-walking NPCs around and you have to click on them for ANY progress of the quests. This is PAINFUL as heck on alts since these parts can't be skipped to get access to most of Oribos' NPCs and vendors.

This quests is like follow Khadgar's familiar quest lite version. Still boring, still slow, still bad.

    As I sat upon the Frozen Throne all those years, <name>, I could peer into the Shadowlands. Brief glimpses, clouded and uncertain. Sights both wondrous and terrible. We must work together to make sense of what has happened. To prevent the Maw from consuming all of reality.
