Description

Thanks to your initiative, <class>, the situation at Dreadwake's Landing is under control. We have no time to rest on our laurels, however - Sylvanas's mission must still be carried out.

The dark rangers are heading up operations in Skold-Ashil from the tower overlooking the river junction. Seek them out there, and see if you can aid in completing this task.

If you're reading this, you're probably wondering if it really is just a swim across the river, no insanely hidden pathways up a sheer bluff, or special hooks to look for, etc.

Yep, it really is that easy. You can even take a rowboat from the opposite shore, although it's like taking a taxi in Grand Theft Auto - you'll get there eventually, just not as quickly ;)

I was just as surprised, after navigating Stormheim for the past several levels, taking special FPs or using grappling hooks to get around. To suddenly have the path just be right across the river seemed too easy <3

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Becoming the AscendantStormheim · Level 10-45

    It would seem that the engravings depict a rite of ascension, which allows the shieldmaidens to enter the vault. I believe we can use this to our advantage. You must become the next ascendant. Go to the temple and perform the rites.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Shielded SecretsStormheim · Level 10-45

    Our goal lies within that vault, <class>. I don't have time to explain in detail - just know that it is vital to the Forsaken that we succeed. The shieldmaidens have proven tenacious in their defense, but I believe there may be another way in.
