Description

Champion. For a brief moment after the battle with G'huun, the spirit of our old warchief, Vol'jin, appeared in view of all in Zuldazar. I had a hundred questions to ask my old friend, but his spirit faded before I could muster my voice. I have asked Talanji to perform her seance once more, so that I might speak with the spirit of Vol'jin. Will you collect the Glaive of Vol'jin from its resting place at the base of the pyramid and then join us at Zanchul?

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Shades of DisruptionLevel 50

    Vol'jin's spirit is a slippery one. I have asked Master Gadrin and Spiritwalker Ebonhorn to aid us in calling him forth. Dis ritual will not be easy, and I ask you to be on your guard should anything other than Vol'jin appear.
