Description

My people have fought across every inch of the ruins of our world. We gave our oath to King Salhadaar and he rewarded us by sending the Shadowguard to hunt us down. Salhadaar is long dead, but we knew the Shadowguard would return. In the long years that followed, we secreted caches of weapons so we would always be able to raise a blade in defiance.

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.

  • The Calm Before We StormK'aresh · Level 80

    Narathe is right. We are fortunate that void elves have experience battling the Shadowguard. The wastes of K'aresh are merciless, and the battle to come will be as well. I hope they are prepared for a brutal fight. These will not be the scattered scouts they are used to fighting on Telogrus.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Shadowguard DiffusionK'aresh · Level 80

    With or without Xal'atath, the Shadowguard have long been a thorn in my side. It would be wise to take out as many as we can on this rock. I still do not trust her, but we must focus on the enemy we can defeat right now. Do not relent, <name>. If you see any Shadowguard, cut them down.
