Objectives
Survey the Cult of the Damned's presence at Aldur'thar and Mord'rethar.
- Aldur'thar surveyed [62.3, 30.0]
- Mord'rethar surveyed [69.2, 33.9]
Description
The resurgence of the Scourge is troubling enough, but there are also reports that the Cult of the Damned has risen anew as well.
If true, then that bodes ill for us all. We cannot allow the cultists' machinations to continue unchecked.
I suggest we engage in some reconnaissance.
Rewards
You will receive:
[Argent Commendation]
- 23
40
- 6,800 XP
- +75 reputation with Argent Crusade
Progress
Notice anything unusual?
Completion
They must be planning something. Though what, I cannot say.
I will instruct our scouts to observe and report.
Notes
Fly just south of the citadel grounds. Fizzix Blastbolt has set up a Sight-O-Matic 3001:
- Fizzix Blastbolt says: Hey, hey! Keep it quiet over here! We don't need everybody and their boney little friends comin' after us, okay?
Interact with it, and it shows a close-up of Mord'rethar, filled with Scourge:
- Fizzix Blastbolt says: Looks pretty well protected to me, bub. I'd be careful if I was you.
Head west, and on a ridge overlooking Aldur'thar is Binkie Brightgear, who has set up her own Sight-O-Matic 3000:
- Binkie Brightgear says: What do you think they're up to in there?
On complete:
- Justicar Mariel Trueheart says: There is still much to be done, <name>. Crusader Renn here will assist you in your next endeavors.
