The World Pillar Fragment

The World Pillar Fragment is a quest for level 30-35 in Deepholm. It is step 57 of 57 in the Deepholm, War & Gunships storyline, the final step. The quest's turn-in marker is in Deepholm at 49.6, 52.9. It rewards 3 reward items, 1 reputation reward, 6,000 experience and money. Completing it counts toward 1 achievement.

Description

It is time, <name>. We have spotted Abyssion making his way to the lair.

The Twilight's Hammer might've thought the fragment would be safe if a dragon guarded it, but I've met enough dragons to know their one weakness. Pride.

Abyssion's not going to run from a fight with us puny mortals.

Place the banner of the Earthen Ring in the middle of his lair. Once we defeat him, bring the fragment to Maruut. We need to repair the World Pillar as soon as possible.

Same as the Matriarch you just finished with not too long ago. Attacks are AoE, so hunter and Lock pets take next to no damage from it's attacks!
If you don't have a pet, do what the pop up text says and stay on the move, and watch out for his shadow nova. It will take out 70% of your health!
