Description

It looks like your friend didn't make it. A pity, but we must move on.

You'll want to plead our case to Helya. She is the ruler here. I would accompany you, but I'm afraid I wouldn't help your case.

Meet me when you are finished. I will see if I can find the whereabouts of my shieldmaidens.

Progress

<The air hangs silent as you approach.>

Completion

<Helya's voice fills the air as you stand>^[sic]

Nobody leaves Helheim without my approval! Entertain me, and I may let you pass.

Notes

"Do not dare cross me, banshee."

As you approach the throne, you see not only Helya, but Sylvanas Windrunner as well. As soon as you come near, Sylvanas lifts a large lantern and Helya appears to empower it with a spell.

Helya says: Remember our bargain, banshee. Do not dare to cross me...

Lady Sylvanas Windrunner says: Ah, my loyal hero.

Lady Sylvanas Windrunner says: You must not languish here. The Aegis cannot fall into enemy hands!

Lady Sylvanas Windrunner says: The future of the Horde depends on you and I. Find your way back to Stormheim - I will be waiting.

Lady Sylvanas Windrunner says: What have we here? Another one of Greymane's mercenaries?

Lady Sylvanas Windrunner says: No matter. Soon you will witness the birth of a new age.

Lady Sylvanas Windrunner says: If you ever make it out of here, that is.

Sylvanas leaps to the top of one of the pillars, gives you a cocky wave and jumps down out of sight.

Use the altar:

Helya's massive presence looms in the distance from the platform.

This altar appears to be a means to communicate with her.

 I do not belong here! I wish to leave Helheim!

Helya says: Unworthy! You will kneel before addressing the great Helya!
