Description

Zelig gave this crystal ball to me years ago with specific instruction on its use. For five years, whenever I would feel anger, anxiety, or sorrow over the events that transpired here, I was to focus my thoughts upon the orb.

I now understand why Zelig gave this crystal to me.

Take my crystalline orb to the Forgotten Shore. Find the ruins of my old base on the upper reaches of the beach and place the orb in the center of town. Let the forgotten see the world through my heart and soul.

Captain Luc Valonforth says: I apologize, emissary, but the prince is away on an errand. What brings you to this desolate place?
Alliance Emissary says: By royal edict, you men are to return to Lordaeron immediately. Lord Uther has convinced the king to recall this expedition.
Captain Luc Valonforth says: We're to just pick up and leave?
Alliance Emissary says: That's correct. My men report that the roads from here to the shore are held by the undead. You'll need to find an alternate route back to your ships.
Captain Luc Valonforth says: To hell with the undead! We'll cut our way through the woods, men!

<The Alliance Emissary walks away, and Arthas and Muradin appear>

Prince Arthas says: Captain, why are the guards not at their posts?
Captain Luc Valonforth says: Well, milord, your father had our troops recalled at Lord Uther's request.
Prince Arthas says: Uther had my troops recalled? Damn it! If my warriors abandon me, I'll never defeat Mal'Ganis. The ships must be burned before the men reach the shore!
Muradin says: Isn't that a bit much, lad?
Prince Arthas says: Burned down to their frames! No one goes home until our job here is done!
Muradin says: You lied to your men and betrayed the mercenaries who fought for you. What's happening to you, Arthas? Is vengeance all that's important to you?
Prince Arthas says: Spare me, Muradin. You weren't there to see what Mal'Ganis did to my homeland.

<Arthas casts a spell which turns the soldiers & peasants into ghosts and disappear>

Forgotten Footman says: May your soul be torn asunder by the very thing you hate most, young prince.
Forgotten Footman says: Our lives were worth far more than your blood feud...

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • The Forgotten TaleDragonblight · Level 15-30

    The toxins in the murkweed elixir will render you unconscious. So powerful is the effect of the murkweed that even your spirit will be fooled, allowing you to temporarily enter the world of the dead. Once a spirit, you must speak to the ghostly denizens of the Forgotten Shore.

After this quest

  • Parting ThoughtsDragonblight · Level 15-30

    You have honored me and honored the memory of hundreds of Alliance veterans, <name>. Zelig was wise in sending you here. Please return to him and give him my thanks. He will be happy to hear of the events that transpired at the Forgotten Shore.
