Description

Spiritwalkers maintain balance between the world of the living and the spirit realm. We can travel into the memories of the dead to glean clues about the past.

The wards Ebonhorn maintained were placed long ago by heroes who fought the darkness. By walking in their footsteps, we may locate the wards and restore them.

Igrul, the drogbar known as the Scalebane, was a true friend to Huln Highmountain. Use the Water of Vision to enter his memories and find where he placed the first ward.

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

Minions of the DarknessLevel 40-90
Oenia Skyhorn was a legendary chieftain of her tribe. Though she crossed over to the spirit realm long ago, her presence is still felt all around us. Ebonhorn told me that Oenia placed a ward here to protect the people she cared for so deeply... perhaps from the specter of the Darkness.
