What to do
Read from the Codex of Blood in the Shadow Labyrinth of Auchindoun.
The quest giver's words
It has been two years since the Shadow Council summoning that resulted in the explosion of this once-great mausoleum, and the formation of the Bone Wastes.
Now they are at war with an unbelievably powerful force on the inside.
<name>, you must make your way into the Shadow Labyrinth to determine what they are up against, and to see if it poses a threat to us. Our spies speak of their use of a forbidden book of unholy summoning, known only as the Codex of Blood.
Seek your answers within its pages.
Completion

Something is most definitely wrong here!

What players recorded
Everything below this line is a different kind of knowledge from everything above it. Above: what the quest is, the same on every realm. Below: what actually happened when people played it, uploaded by them, with the number of runs printed against every figure. It is an observation, not a fact about the quest.
Nobody has completed this quest with telemetry on yet, so there is no timing. Everything below is drawn straight from the 0 recorded attempts the hub has.
How precise this guide is
Early guide Built from 0 runs by 0 players – low confidence. Every upload of this quest sharpens it: the hotspots tighten, the order and the timings settle, and the parts below unlock as the sample grows.
- Where to go – pick-up, objectives and hand-in needs one recorded run not yet
- Typical time and objective order – median and middle half needs 3 completed runs (now 0) not yet
- Tips – what most players do needs 5 runs (now 0) not yet
- Where players die – death hotspots on the map needs 5 characters from at least 2 different people (now 0 from 0) not yet

The route
An early route: drawn from the first runs and sharper with every upload. Pick-up, hand-in and the objective hotspots are where the quest is, so they are shown from the first run.
Map coordinates are the addon's own 0–1 zone coordinates (Terokkar Forest), origin top-left, x to the right and y downward. Drag the zone map to pan, ctrl/⌘ + scroll or the buttons to zoom; the grid lines are tenths of the zone.
