Description

Many believe it was the Shadow Council that caused the explosion that tore Auchindoun apart. It is rumored they awoke a great evil inside.

If that is true, then that evil must have turned against them. According to these orders, part of the Shadow Council is fleeing Auchindoun. They are using the Shadow Tomb to store powerful artifacts from Auchindoun.

Three of these are sacred, for they belonged to the powerful patriarchs Arunen, K'alen and Atalor. I must ask you to retrieve them.

    This message bears a dark seal and though the language seems somewhat familiar, it appears to be encoded. Perhaps someone at the Refugee Caravan will know something about it.

  • Taken in the NightTerokkar Forest · Level 15-30

    Our small outpost is under constant attack. Several nights ago, we were raided by the spiders of Netherweb Ridge, on the southeastern edge of the Bone Wastes. They poisoned many of our people, wrapped them in webs and carried them away.
