Open on Wowhead ↗ Suggest a correction

What to do

Bring High Priest Naferset's Scroll, High Priest Talet-Kha's Scroll, and High Priest Andorath's Scroll to Chieftain Wintergale at Taunka'le Village.

Objective by objective

The quest's own structured objectives. How many of each you need is set by the game when you accept it, so it is not stored here – the sentence above is the quest's own wording.

The quest giver's words

Within the spires you described dwell the main lieutenants of the Scourge leader, the high priests. Not only do they command the Scourge forces, but they hold the key to the necropolis above, and their master.

An endless stream of Scourge minions will overrun us if we can't find and defeat their leader. I cannot leave my people defenseless, however much Durm might want to bring the fight to the enemy. It falls to you, <name>, to slay the high priests and take the scrolls they hold.

Progress

We must get into that necropolis if we're to break through the Scourge and clear a path for the villagers.

Completion

< Chieftain Wintergale reads the words written on the scrolls.>

'Shabtir bakh sokhen.'

Words of the ancient, harsh language used by the Nerubians, and apt ones at that.

'The servant bows to the master's authority.' These are the words that will gain you entry into the necropolis.

Category: Borean Tundra.

What you need

The game pays the full figure up to five levels above the quest, then 20 % less for each level more, down to a tenth, and none at the level cap. A bonus of your own (a guild perk, a holiday) comes on top.

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 (Borean Tundra), 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.
