Vaelen the Flayed at The Shadow Vault wants you to free 8 Ebon Blade Prisoners. They can be found in the cages throughout the greater Jotunheim region.

Description

Now that I’m back, I’m certain that the baron will want me to recover my men. I can see that we’re barely hanging on here. The Lich King’s forces are about to break through and we won’t be able to hold without my captured death knights.

Can you assist me once more, <name>?

Go back to Jotunheim and let them out of those cages. Break the damn locks, I don’t care what you have to do. The vrykul likely have the keys.

Just get my men free!

Thassarian, aboard the Skybreaker, wants you to collect Orbs of Illusion from Bitter Initiates at Aldur’thar and use them on 3 Dark Subjugators there.

Description

The Cult of the Damned hold the gate of desolation, eh? No surprise there.

Time to have a little fun. At the southern end of the gate, you mentioned there were new cultists being trained. They’re almost certain to be holding a special item given to all initiates – an Orb of Illusion.

These artifacts are used to disguise a cult member, allowing them to gain safe passage, infiltrate, or simply blend in with an enemy.

Kill the fools until you find one, <class>, then use it on a subjugator.

Use the Refurbished Demolisher to destroy 150 Decomposed Ghouls, 20 Frostskull Mages and 2 Bone Giants in the Valley of Lost Hope. Speak to Matthias Lehner at the First Legion Forward Camp when you’ve completed this task.

Description

You’re going to use this machine against the Scourge? You’re not going to win against them like that.

You can destroy hundreds… even thousands of them. But you won’t win. Not out here.

When you’re done playing with your machine, meet me to the north. There is an old army encampment. What I will show you will teach you a little bit about who you’re up against.

Kill Master Summoner Zarod and use his Summoning Stave to destroy the First, Second, Third, and Fourth Summoning Altars. When you’ve completed this task, report to Darkrider Arly at Blackwatch.

Description

So they’re summoning in their workers and warriors at those altars?

They’ll need to be the first thing to go. The master summoner should have a staff which allows him to activate the portal. If you kill the master summoner and take the staff, you can use it to overload the summoning portal and destroy its altar.

Do this at all four of the altars and return to me once they’ve been destroyed.

Now, patch 4.0.1 is on the PTR, dragging in new talent trees and new hit numbers to consider and the removal of Sentry Totem. Time to start paying attention. We must not let the sacrifice of Sentry Totem be in vain! There should be no expectations of balance at this point, as all these new level 80 shiny things are developed with level 85 in mind. There are still questions pending on some of the details, so whether our flames are bright or storm clouds are on the horizon for elemental is up for debate. From hit caps to casting priorities, we’ve got a bit to get through in my inaugural Totem Talk, so sit tight, make sure you know where your towel is and everything will be just fine. I hope.

Now, where to start? Oh, yes. Hit.

Crusader Lord Dalfors at the Argent Vanguard in Icecrown has asked that you kill 15 Forgotten Depths Nerubians.

Description

We can’t keep this pace up, <lad/lass>. Once the breach was blown, the floodgates opened up. The Scourge have been pourin’ through ever since with no end in sight!

We need every able bodied man and woman to help keep the tide of evil at bay. Get out there and do yer share, friend. Kill as many of those monsters as ye can!

The Bone Witch in Njorndar Village has asked you to beat information out of Apprentice Osterkilgr concerning what Dr. Terrible is truly up to.

You are then to slay the apprentice.

Description

Deep in the bowels of The Underhalls to the northeast, a mad scientist known as Dr. Terrible is up to something befitting his name.

The doctor has been given dispensation by the Lich King to perform experiments upon the vargul — the vrykul who fall in battle and are found unworthy, and then turned into Scourge.

We must put an end to his work, but my auguries have been unable to find him. He does, however, have an assistant.

Beat the information out of his apprentice, and then dispose of the body.

Use the Death’s Gaze Orb to place orbs on the Abomination Lab Orb Stand, the Flesh Giant Lab Orb Stand, and the Cauldron Area Orb Stand, then return to Darkrider Arly at Blackwatch.

Description

The Fleshwerks is a vast operation, and it will be difficult to keep an eye on all that transpires there. Fortunately, I have a plan.

<Arly produces an orb from the folds of her cloak and shows it to you.>

This is a death’s gaze orb. With it, we can observe the Scourge’s actions and decide how best to strike.

Place these orbs on the stands at three crucial areas — the abomination lab and the flesh giant lab to the southwest, along with the area surrounding the green cauldron far to the west.

Father Gustav at the Argent Vanguard in Icecrown has asked that you bring him 10 Forgotten Depths Venom Sacs.

Description

The number of injured soldiers rises with each passing day. They are being stricken by some type of toxin that we have never before seen. Whatever it is that these Nerubians hold within their venom glands is lethal and incurable! So far we’ve only been able to slow down the poison flowing through the victim’s bodies. We must devise a cure!

Venture northwest to the valley outside of the Vanguard and slay the Forgotten Depths Nerubians. Recover their venom glands and bring them to me.
