For the Horde version of this quest, see  [10-45] Becoming the Ascendant.

Objectives

Seek the blessings at the four shrines in the temple at Skold-Ashil, then commune with the statue.

• Eyir's Helm
• Eyir's Pauldron
• Eyir's Shield
• Eyir's Spear
• Commune with the Statue

Description

Our course is now clear. We must enter the vault and prevent Sylvanas from obtaining the power to create more Val'kyr.

The entrance is barred, which is likely what has kept her out so far, but you may have already uncovered the key to this barrier.

You must become the next ascendant.

Complete the rites as depicted on the shields and take down the barrier to the vault. I will send word to Greymane of our findings - he will wish to confront Sylvanas himself.

Rewards

You will receive:

• 19 40
• 14,800 XP
• +150 reputation with Valarjar

Completion

It is good to see you, <name>.

The assault on Dreadwake's Landing fared poorly, and I had thought our cause lost until Crowley informed me of your success.

Now, let's finish this!

Notes

Upon gaining all blessings, interact with the statue:

Before you stands a statue depicting the leader of the Shieldmaidens in Skold-Ashil.

Her features look familiar...

 Attempt to commune with the statue.

A bright light fills the screen; when it fades, the immediate surroudings are encircled with light. Ashildir hovers in front of her statue as the player slowly rises to her level.

Ashildir says: What is this? The hero of Helheim seeks entrance to the vault?

Ashildir says: I know your worth. I will grant you an audience with Eyir.

As she next speaks, Ashildir charges up a spell and dispels the vault's barrier. (Genn will also phase in once this happens.)

Ashildir says: You may proceed, but know that Eyir may not regard you as I do.

Ashildir says: Seek your fate in the vault, <name>. May Eyir be your wings.

A bright light fills the screen once more as the communion ends, and the player drops back to the ground.

Beta

The subject of this section did not make it out of the beta stages.

Ashildir says: What is this? The hero of Helheim is now an aspirant of my own order?

Ashildir says: I know your worth. I will grant you an audience with Eyir.

Ashildir says: You may proceed, but know that Eyir may not regard you as I do.

Ashildir says: Seek your fate in the vault, <name>. May Eyir be your wings.
