Wowhead shows this as Grey Idols - Destroy 6 Necrodark Idols, but ingame, I see this quest (same ID) as Whispers of the Darkness - Free 6 Highmountain Protectors.

Possibly a late change after Wowhead had already collected the quest info on the PTR, and now it takes a while to update, waiting for enough reports that the quest data was indeed changed.

That is every comment on this page.

Description

Before our arrival, many of our own came to neutralize the threat here. They did not know what they were walking into. Our people are now suffering from the whispers. The Old Gods seek to corrupt them and turn them against their own. Wake them from their stupor. Free them from the whispers any way you can.

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 Final WardLevel 40-90

    The Necrodark are readying their ritual to give physical form to the Darkness. They've sealed themselves inside and barred our way. The shards you brought me should provide the means to bring down the barrier. Once it is done, we have to act quickly.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Dark TalesLevel 40-90

    Spiritwalker Ebonhorn is stable... for now. He once told me of the wards he maintains against the Old Gods. He placed them at key locations around this mountain, but kept them hidden from mortal eyes--even my own. Incapacitated like this, his wards cannot hold back the evil ones.
