I am honored with Lower City. I did Escaping the Tomb and The Shadow Tomb. This quest was not available. I then did Missing Friends and upon completing that quest, the yellow ! immediately popped up over the troll's head. I was then able to pick up The Tomb of Lights and The Vengeful Harbinger.

Description

To the east, buried under the charred sand, is the Tomb of Lights, a lost resting place of the dead. Before our caravan was ambushed I was going to journey to the tomb and cleanse it of evil spirits. Little did I know it was already infested with another kind of evil. Even now the ethereals plunder the bodies of the fallen for trinkets and keepsakes that were given to the dead centuries ago. There is little I can do while our caravan struggles to survive.

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.

  • Missing FriendsTerokkar Forest · Level 15-30

    We broke down here because some guys came in the night and made a lot of noise. It was scary. I don't know when we are going to get moving again. Some of my friends are missing though. I don't know where they are. I think those scary bird men took them away to the northwest.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Vengeful SoulsTerokkar Forest · Level 15-30

    The Tomb of Lights has become corrupted by the Shadow Council and the draenei dead have become cursed spirits, angry and confused with a burning hatred for the living. Enter the tomb and seek out these tragic victims. Give them the rest that they deserve.
