Notes
There are two versions of this quest. The first is available to level 60 players who have completed the first four zone storylines. The second is offered to alts at level 50 if they chose to twist [60] The Threads of Fate.
In the area are four characters representing the four covenants, and a number of training dummies. All of the representatives can provide players the covenant signature and class ability to test with.
After speaking with the four representatives, interact with the Shadowlands Covenant Map between Tal-Inara and Bolvar to make a decision.
Tal-Inara will offer the next quest, continuing the Shadowlands campaign:
- Kyrian: [60] Report to Adrestes
- Necrolords: [60] Report to Mevix
- Night Fae: [60] Report to Moonberry
- Venthyr: [60] Report to Draven
Make sure to actually pick up the quest before heading to the covenant sanctum!
For alts on the Threads of Fate, Tal-Inara will instead offer [50-60] Aiding the Shadowlands, which grants a choice to one of the four zones to level through first.
