We will not rest until Shadow Hold has been cleansed of this foul corruption!

Completion

I heard their cries from here, <name>. Well done.

Notes

Upon accept of both

Maiev Shadowsong says: Champion, Arko'narin and I will find Lord Hel'nurath. Take the ma... take Lysander with you. Put an end to the demon's minions. Meet with us after you have finished.

Lysander Starshade says: Yes, Warden!

Lysander Starshade says: I am sorry, my friend. I did not realize what this place really was.

Lysander Starshade says: Long ago, these were barrow dens. My mother used to rest here when she was called to the Emerald Dream.

Lysander Starshade says: That must be why my sister came here with her friend, Trey. To fix this place for my mother and our family.

To fill up the bar, kill Hel'nurathian Conjurors, Hel'nurathian Hellions, Hel'nurathian Cultists, Hel'nurathian Felmaws, Hel'nurathian Tricksters, and Hel'nurathian Defenders.

Objective complete

Lysander Starshade says: Come, champion. I think we've cleared this place.
