Loot the mirror inside the Auchenai Crypts instance.

Take it to Nagrand and talk to yellow Ancient Orc Ancestors to summon one Darkened Spirit elite, hits pretty hard.

A good spot in Nagrand is around 36,66 just north of Oshu'gun. The yellow Ancient Orc Ancestors spawn repeatedly in this area so you'll never need to go searching.

Ok, if your like me and just ran out of the instance, and went to bed only to come on and find out that you need to go back into the instance to get one of these "mirrors".

Don't Worry.

When you enter the instance there should be a mirror at the end of the hallway and to the left a little near a pile of bones, you can just run up and get it.

Description

For several centuries, the spirits of Auchindoun coalesced into my darkened essence. Many of the catastrophes that befell this crypt were a direct result of my weakened state. Regrettably, there is nothing that can be done to stop this cycle. It is a facet of the naaru condition - without the void, the Light cannot exist. Your only recourse is to destroy the ancient spirits of Nagrand before they transform into creatures of the void. Use the soul mirrors found throughout this crypt to free them...

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.

Before this quest

  • Auchindoun...Auchenai Crypts · Level 15-30

    Deep within the Auchenai Crypts is a tomb: A tomb unlike any that exists on this shattered realm. It was from this tomb, the first tomb, that the vast mausoleum of Auchindoun was born. You must venture to the Auchenai Crypts of Auchindoun and find this tomb.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Return to the GreatmotherNagrand · Level 15-30

    Return to Greatmother Geyah at Garadar with news of your victory, <name>. This will surely lift the spirits of the Mag'har. Perhaps even the young Hellscream will be lifted from his malaise.
