Description

There's a whole lot of shadow energy coming from this pit. I'm guessing a ritual is being performed down there. And that means a sacrifice. Do you hear that? I've got the best hearing around, ever since I got this new ear sewn onto me. It sounds like there are some more of our soldiers trapped down there. Probably all webbed up. Won'sa and I will... stay up here and help anyone who gets out. You should jump in and rescue anyone who is left down there!

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.
