Description
<The blade that was known as Xal'atath rests on the ground before you. Though the consciousness that resided within the dagger is gone, it still resonates with power.

You feel a compulsion to bring this artifact to the warchief.>

- Quest completion
- Lady Sylvanas Windrunner says: The Alliance believes that by striking down Rastakhan and decimating the Zandalari fleet, they have broken us. That the Horde will soon crumble.
- Lady Sylvanas Windrunner says: Fools. The boy-king has lied to himself and his people. He hasn't the faintest inkling of what he's truly up against.
- Lady Sylvanas Windrunner says: War is a living thing. It writhes, it grows, twisting and turning until its final form is revealed.
- Lady Sylvanas Windrunner says: This war is about to shift yet again. And it will be this blade that guides our way to victory.
