Objectives
Investigate the darkened dawntower.
- Darkfire investigated
- Clues found outside the tower (4)
- Return to Faerin
Description
This... Order of Night, as they call themselves, did some foul ritual to turn the tower's flame to darkness. I know not what.
We should investigate.
Rewards
You will receive:
- 11 70
- 5,600 XP
Progress
My own people... how could they?
<Faerin shakes her head in disbelief.>
Completion
So, they killed Kelther, too?
<Faerin squeezes her eyes shut and mouths a prayer and a curse at the same time.>
We'll make sure he gets a proper funeral. The Order of Night will pay for this.
We sealed off Gloomcrag, the nearby cave, years ago. They must have dug their way in so they could target this dawntower.
How long have they been planning this? How long has the Order of Night been among our ranks?
Notes
On accept:
- Faerin Lothar says: The Flame is corrupted! Can we restore it?
- Faerin, Alleria, and Anduin all run in and look at the purple fire.
Interact with the Darkfire and Faerin starts channeling the Light at it:
- Faerin Lothar says: This... shadow! Its too much—!
- Alleria walks over to Anduin.
- Alleria Windrunner says: Anduin, help her. Call upon the Light once more.
- Faerin glances at Anduin in surprise.
- Anduin Wrynn says: I...
- Anduin Wrynn says: —no. I can't. There must be another way.
Outside, from north to south, are an Order of the Night Polearm next to a Glooming Shadow:
<The polearm has faint sigils carved into the haft. They have been torn and changed, forming new shapes.
They pulse with dark energy.>
The corpse of Kelther Hearthen:
<The wounds on the body form a ritualistic pattern. This poor soul was not only killed, but sacrificed to the darkness.>
(Quest) <Wish his spirit well.>
An Order of Night Poster with another Glooming Shadow channeling something at it:
My fellows,
We have lived in fear long enough.
Beledar has been trying to show us the way.
The Light has forsaken us. In the Light's glare, are all watched. Exposed.
In the darkness, we are free. We are afraid of the dark only because the Light wants us to be.
Beledar has shown us the way. No more fear.
Instead, we must become fear.

And an Order of Night Journal:
<The journal is heavily scratched out and torn up. Few segments remain.>
Tabita,
I'm leaving. I'm tired. I don't expect you to understand.
The Order of Night gathers strength. They hide in caves, in towns, and linger with our greatest enemies.
They even have a base beneath one of their precious towers. The army has no idea.
The Light has made us all blind.
Not me. Not anymore.
Return to Faerin:
(Quest) <Tell Faerin what you learned.>
- Faerin Lothar says: A cave... Could they still be nearby, continuing to corrupt the Flame?
