Description

How could I let this happen?

<Aurore wrings her hands.>

Yesterday Coryn Stelleris approached me about the appointment. He sought my support, but I did not offer it.

He said my son's life would continue as normal... if I gave him my vote.

This morning my son was gone.

I can only think of the terrible things he may be suffering. You know what this family is capable of!

You want my support, but I can do nothing while my son is in danger. Nothing.

Please... save him!

A way to bypass any fighting is:

  • to stay mounted and ...

  • a) manoeuver through all detecting NPCs forth and back without getting revealed

  • b) should you drop your illusion, run 15 yards past Aurore and drop into the little "garden" right behind her and stay close to the front wall .... NPCs wont follow you into it as there is "no path available"; they will reset after a few seconds and you should be able to get up after a few tires again.

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.

  • Either With UsSuramar · Level 45

    Thalyssra asks much of me, but our cause is worth the risks. The title of advisor would grant us enormous influence. Information. Access. I could change this rebellion. I could save so many lives. I will need strong endorsement to ascend, though.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Vote of ConfidenceSuramar · Level 45

    I will endeavor to protect my son until the votes are cast. Coryn Stelleris is a predator even among the nobility. It does not surprise me that he should stoop to such depths to ensure his own success. Tell Ly'leth that she has my support. Unequivocally.

Statecraft has 10 steps, from The Perfect Opportunity to Friends With Benefits.
