Description

Dar'Khan Drathir is believed to have returned from the dead to rule over the armies of the Scourge in the Ghostlands. Dar'Khan aligned himself with the Scourge long ago... yet he was once a living, breathing elf. Much of his time was spent inside Dawnstar Spire, northeast of here. He hid there for many nights, scheming against his own.

Search the tower for more information, <name>. Perhaps he had a journal or kept notes. One never knows where useful information might present itself.

I've had difficulty on several characters I've leveled in this area due to the power, number, and fast respawn times of the Arcane Reavers.

Here's the best way I've found to do this quest.
1] Run into the building.
2] Position yourself against the north wall, underneath the second story platform -inside- the building.
3] Let the Arcane Reavers kill you.
4] Release, and run back to the building.
5] As a ghost, run inside, upstairs, and rez on the second story platform -outside.-
6] You will see a jounal. Read it to complete the quest and get the next step.
7] Jump off the platform, go around the back of the building, and run back to Farstrider Enclave.

WARNING: There may be one Arcane Reaver that patrols the ramp between the first and second stories. Time your rez so that he is not near.
