TheWoWDBHi All -
There is (as at Launch of Legion) a BUG with this Quest.
Sometimes when you arrive at the gem area with Allari, she asks for you to let her know when you are ready........................ but then you do not get the choice to speak to her again.
DO NOT hang around. Just "Abandon" the Quest and go pick it up again.
It then works fine and saves a ton of time :-)
Quest
The Scythe of Souls
A World of Warcraft quest in Azsuna. Facts and objectives from the current retail game data.
The highest voted Wowhead comments for this page. They are community notes, not TheWoWDB comments.
I came here to see what happens when you don't leave the soul gem (since the quest objective says it's optional) but there were no comments about it.
For the curious, nothing happens; when you turn the quest in it gets removed.
If you break the crystals in the wrong order (specifically the middle one before you're meant to) Alleria will leave and the quest will break. If this happens you have to abandon the Q and start it over.
The crystal you have to break will have a green whirlwind effect around it. First you do the left one (north), followed by the right one (south) and lastly the middle crystal.

Description
Let's head to the other side of the stand. We will release the demon souls one by one and get the answers that we seek concerning Lord Illidan. The Scythe of Souls will ensure that we do.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Reignite the Wards
The demons are weakening my defenses. They must be far more powerful than what we've faced before. Will you help me to reignite the wards to keep the Legion from overrunning our position here?
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- From Within
Our demon hunters, Kor'vas Bloodthorn and Cyana Nightglaive took a small force of the Illidari across to Faronaar. Their mission was to weaken the Legion from within. I haven't heard from them in a while. It would be best if you could find and lead them to success. Agreed?
