Help Malace Shade kill this fel lord and she will tell you how to recover the Sargerite Keystone.

Objectives

Meet Malace Shade on the bridge at the Gates of Valor and then slay Lochaber.

• Malace met
• Lochaber slain

Description

The reason why I came out here was to capture or kill a fel lord named, Lochaber. I am no longer in a capturing mood.

I'll grab my weapon and then head up to the bridge in front of the Gates of Valor. That place is a scary mess full of Felskorn vrykul and demons.

How do you think I got caught?

So, I'd rather not go back in there. But, I think I know a way to get the demon to come out to us.

Rewards

You will receive:

• 38 80
• 20,560 XP

Completion

<As she begins to stealth away, Malace whispers in your ear.>

Very well, Illidari, a deal is a deal. Your keystone was always safeguarded within the Vault of the Wardens next to Illidan's corpse, hidden within the platform itself.

<Malace then tells you how to touch the stones of the platform within the Vault of the Wardens just so in a particular location so that the Sargerite Keystone will be revealed. Afterwards, she disappears in a puff of smoke and is gone.

Notes

Quest accept

Malace Shade says: I will see you ahead on the bridge. But first, I must find my weapon.

Malace stealths away...

Malace Shade at bridge

The fel lord, Lochaber, is hiding somewhere in that mess up there. I have no desire to go anywhere near the gates just to kill one demon. We'd end up having to wade through hundreds.

One thing I learned while having him imprisoned is that he's got quite the ego. So, I'm going to call him out in front of all the others.

<Malace stifles a very unwarden-like giggle.>

Let me know when you're ready, demon hunter.

 Ready when you are. Taunt away.

Malace Shade yells: Lochaber! Come demon, face us. If you are not afraid, that is.

Lochaber comes running to the bridge.

Lochaber yells: I FEAR NOTHING! I will kill you on my own. Caria and Varedis send their best regards, <name>.

The demon hunter adventurer, assisted by Malace Shade, defeats Lochaber.

Lochaber says: If you only knew what was coming...
