Destroy Cyrukh the Firelord and then speak to Earthmender Torlok, also found at The Altar of Damnation.

Description[]

How many times has this spell been used in the history of our worlds? Undoubtedly, its power for destruction is unparalleled.

What you must do now is take the cipher, now made whole, and read it from The Altar of Damnation - where the memory of Gul'dan stands.

What you will see once the words are uttered are the memories left imprinted upon the land. Stand your ground and await the coming of Cyrukh.

You must be victorious, <Name>. This land can not withstand another shattering.

Progress[]

Is it done?

Completion[]

Symbol-in-the-sky

The mark of Kael'thas...

<Earthmender Torlok takes Inv misc rune 10 [The Cipher of Damnation] from you.>

You have done as the elements asked. For that, we are grateful. While you will be rewarded, trouble still looms. The spirits of fire are in turmoil. A claim has been made. Inv misc rune 10 [The Cipher of Damnation] is known by another.

It is cryptic, I know, but that is all the spirits would have me know. That and this symbol...

<Earthmender Torlok turns around and points into the sky.>

What could it mean?

Notes[]

  • This is a 5 player group quest.
  • After completing this quest, you should receive a Inv letter 05 [Letter from Shattrath] in the mail.
Speaking with Oronok

We will fight when you are ready, <name>.

Gossip I am ready, Oronok. Let us destroy Cyrukh and free the elements!

When the player finishes the summoning
A flaming vortex takes shape.
Cyrukh the Firelord appears.
Cyrukh the Firelord yells: You will suffer eternally!
Oronok Torn-heart and his two still-living sons comes flying on wyverns.
Oronok Torn-heart yells: You do not fight alone, <name>! Together, we will banish this spawn of hellfire!
Oronok and his two sons land a bit behind Gul'dan.
Oronok Torn-heart says: We will fight when you are ready.
When Oronok and his sons are running to face Cyrukh
Oronok Torn-heart yells: We will set the elements free of your grasp by force!
Cyrukh the Firelord yells: Little creature made of flesh, your wish is granted! Death comes for you!
When Cyrukh is defeated
Oronok Torn-heart says: What say the elements, Torlok? I only hear silence.
Earthmender Torlok says: I hear what you hear, brother. Look behind you...
Four elementals, each representing an element, appear: Redeemed Spirit of Earth, Redeemed Spirit of Fire, Redeemed Spirit of Air, Redeemed Spirit of Water
Oronok Torn-heart says: They are redeemed! Then we have won?
Redeemed Spirit of Earth says: It is now as it should be, shaman. You have done well.
Redeemed Spirit of Fire says: Yes... Well enough for the elements that are here, but the cipher is known to another... The spirits of fire are in turmoil... If this force is not stopped, the world where these mortals came from will cease.
Redeemed Spirit of Earth says: Farewell, mortals... The earthmender knows what fire feels...
The elementals disappear.
Oronok Torn-heart says: We leave, Torlok. I have only one request...
The Torn-heart men give their weapons to Earthmender Torlok.
Oronok Torn-heart says: Give these to the heroes that made this possible.
