If you're just getting to Dragonblight, the flesh-bound tome is not going to be the first requirement in order for this chain to open up. There may be more than one way to get it open, but I had to start at the Taunka refugee camp, do the two quests there and recruit them into the horde, then pick up a quest from Agmar that sent me to kill the orc in the azjol-nerub cave, before I could kill guys in icemist to get this tome to drop.

That is every comment on this page.

Description

Here it is, {name}. I have translated everything printed upon the pages of the tome. Inside it you will find a list of the names of Cult of the Damned members spanning the entire continent. Their network of spies and operatives is impressive, to say the least. Farewell, friend. May the book serve you and your people well.

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 Power to DestroyDragonblight · Level 15-30

    While you have done much for me, one task remains. Beside the world you know exists another world. It is from that world, the world of shadows, that my tormentors assault me. While I am powerless to face my own demons, you could end their reign of terror.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Containing the RotDragonblight · Level 15-30

    With Scourge comes death and disease. We often overlook that the wildlife of a Scourge infested area is ravaged and ultimately destroyed by rot and contagion. For most of the indigenous beasts of the Dragonblight it is too late.
