Empowering Trait Questlines
There are seven questlines, providing variation among roles and specializations. You can pick up this quest after earning 35 traits on an artifact weapon. The quest starts from The Broken Shore: Investigating the Legion and Khadgar encourages you to find Mysterious Runebound Scroll from a random mob on the Broken Shore. Which gives you Legion Threat: Suramar and then Legion Threat: The Necromancer

This is a guide for the other specs.

This is a macro to check your progress (Alliance Side) in the quest chain after you have acquired the spec specific quest.

/run for k, v in pairs({Message=45185,Secrets=45187,Wisdom=45188,Thinnest=45190,Rending=45192,Behind=45193,Gift=43568,Thwarting=46127,Raest=45910}) do print(format("%s: %s", k, IsQuestFlaggedCompleted(v) and "Done\124r" or "\124cffff0000Need\124r")) end

Description

Though I have never heard of this "Nethersworn" cult, what this manifesto speaks of can't be good. I do have a theory, however. The writing speaks of "the place its skin is thinnest." I think they might be referring to the place where the veil between Azeroth and the Twisting Nether is weakest - the Tomb of Sargeras. With our forces having established a foothold at the Broken Shore, this would be an opportune time for Raest and his cultist allies to reach the tomb. I would suggest you stop 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.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • The Wisdom of the CouncilLevel 45

    I'm sorry, <name>, but I can't make heads nor tails of this. Riddles have never exactly been my strength. We should take this cultist's writings to the archmage. Perhaps he could shed some light on this.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Runes of RendingLevel 45

    My brother and his cultists are engaged in some kind of ritual at the far end of the cave. I tried to intervene, but my brother has left magical wards to block the way. If you can find a way past them, we may be able to stop him in time!
