Description

Your assistance to us has been tremendous, {name}, but there is something that is troubling me: these so-called Scourge. The spirits of the land and air, the waters and the fire below the world, would not abide their presence, but seem to do nothing about them. We will see to it that they are dealt with! Perhaps it is asking too much, but I would have you return west to Gjalerbron and destroy the unnatural Scourge in that vile lair. Be sure to check in the Waking Halls below Gjalerbron as 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.

  • Necro Overlord MezhenHowling Fjord · Level 10-30

    The dead ones are at Gjalerbron and they have necromancers with them? We must eliminate the leader of these necrolords. Do whatever it takes, <name>, but see to it that Necro Overlord Mezhen, and whatever he's attempting to accomplish, is neutralized.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Sleeping GiantsHowling Fjord · Level 10-30

    I've overheard what you've had to say with Greatmother Ankha. With all due respect, she's not having you go far enough. You must also deal with the vrykul that lie dormant in the Waking Halls beneath Gjalerbron!
