Before I was even given a name, I was given a place in society: at the bottom.

Iskar is lying. It's revealed in the short story Apocrypha that Iskar was a priest of Rukhmar, far from being at the bottom of Arakkoa society. In fact Iskar was the former wing-mate of [npc=76266], the boss of Skyreach and the one behind the persecution of the Arakkoa Outcasts.

Go southwest from the questgiver, down the steps (you will be on Duskfall island) and down the path. You will encounter [npc=75635] , also other Outcasts. All you have to do is right-click them and they will move towards the refuge. When you go futher into Veil Shadar there are more outcasts, guarded by [npc=75283], [npc=85434] and [npc=75290].

I found the majority of outcasts around 77.2, 60.8

Also the path to the cave where [npc=75353] is, for the quest Kura's Vengeance is there at 79.5, 60.6

The shadow tomes needed for Forbidden Knowledge are located in the various tents where the Adherent guys are.

Description

Not all arakkoa are alike. <Iskar lifts his sleeve to reveal a mangled, useless wing.> It is no illusion. They did this to me. Before I was even given a name, I was given a place in society: at the bottom. We are many. We make our homes in the places this world has forgotten. Veil Shadar was such a place, but the Adherents have found it and started a purge. For morale. For fun. Help my people escape, and we'll be in your debt. When the sky burns, it pays to have allies in the shadows.

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.

  • What the Draenei FoundTalador · Level 20-40

    They came here for an artifact? The miners must have found something in our crystal mine to the north. By the Light, can you imagine how powerful that thing must be, to attract them all the way here from their spires? I suppose it is in their hands now...

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Forbidden KnowledgeTalador · Level 20-40

    <Darkscryer Raastok narrows his eyes and looks you up and down.> So, you are Iskar's hired hand? Well, I care not whether you are a <race> or an overgrown moth, so long as you are willing to help. The Adherents of Rukhmar are closed-minded fools!
