Objectives
Examine 6 Engraved Vrykul Shields in Skold-Ashil.
- Examine Engraved Shields (6)
Description
Our goal lies within that vault, <class>. I don't have time to explain in detail - just know that it is vital to the Forsaken that we succeed.
The shieldmaidens have proven tenacious in their defense, but I believe there may be another way in. A chosen few of their order are allowed entrance, and I need you to find out how.
In the town I have seen intricately engraved shields which I believe are passed down from these champions. The scenes they depict may be the key to passing into the vault.
Rewards
You will receive:
- 15 40 (at level 100)
- 15,050 XP
Completion
I would hope that you bring me some good news, <class>.
For both of our sake.
Notes
Upon accepting the quest, Sylvanas has gossip:
I must commend you on ending that miserable worgen, Greymane.
My only regret is that I was not there to witness his final throes.
Each shield shows a unique text when clicked.
First shield:
The engravings on the shield depict a goddess of the shieldmaidens, watching over them in battle.
Above her is inscribed the name "Eyir".
Second shield:
This shield appears to show various trials undergone by the warriors of Skold-Ashil.
A depiction of the nearby temple adorns the center.
Third shield:
An image of a shieldmaiden is carved on this shield, kneeling before an elaborate spear.
The priestesses of the temple stand nearby, silently observing the rite.
Fourth shield:
The scene on this shield shows one of the shieldmaidens hovering above a statue of an ancient champion of Skold-Ashil.
The shieldmaiden is glowing with a radiant aura, and is held aloft by golden wings.
Fifth shield:
Upon this shield, an engraving of Eyir stands at the entrance to the titan vault.
She appears to be welcoming a winged champion of the shieldmaidens inside.
Sixth shield:
This shield bears an image of a winged shieldmaiden lifting the body of a fallen vrykul from a battlefield.
The shieldmaiden's image appears eerily similar to that of a Val'kyr.
