Description

<cough> My body won't last much longer, but Miss Voss insists I display what my powers truly are.

I can instill within you a <cough> <wheeze> magical font that will absorb void essence from slain creatures.

When the font is full, you can unleash devastating wind magic.

Go to <cough> Port Fogtide. There you will find those tainted by the Void.

Slay them, fill the font, and you will <wheeze> see my magic at work.

Once the void is filled by killing mobs, simply click the special action button to advance. MOBs on the ship do not count.

If your action bar doesn't appear after filling the void, try reloading the ui. That worked for me.

Upon accepting this quest, Zelling continue to show interest in becoming Forsaken, this is the conversation he had with Lilian in case you just ran off to do the quest :P
Lilian Voss: Let's hope you live long enough to help us find Valentine.
Thomas Zelling: <cough> Miss Voss, how is it that you came to be Forsaken?
Lilian Voss: Painfully.
Thomas Zelling: But part of you survived, correct?
Lilian Voss: I wonder that every day, Zelling.

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

Scattering Our EnemiesLevel 50
We've been scouting the area of Sagehold for some time now. It was recently retaken by a large force of Alliance and Kul Tirans. We have been waiting for an opportunity to strike when their defenses were weakened. Now is that time.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

Whatever Will BeLevel 50
Well, here we are. Zelling seems like he'll be a powerful asset, as long as we ensure his family is taken care of. He doesn't have much time left. Let's see if he can locate Marshal Valentine for us before he passes.
