[50] The Black Blade.
Objectives
Inform King Anduin about the absence of Xal'atath.
Description
<The echo of the blade Xal'atath lingers before you. Though the consciousness that resided within the dagger is gone, the place it once occupied still resonates with power.
You sense the weapon now speaks another voice. Another purpose....
You feel compelled to warn the king that the blade may now reside in the hands of the enemy.>
Rewards
You will receive:
- 23 40
- 17,850 XP
- [Radiant Azerite Fragment] (500 [Azerite])
Completion
<You tell Anduin about Xal'atath and N'Zoth. His expression darkens.>
This is grim news, champion.
The Alliance stands on the threshold of victory. If the Banshee Queen has learned of a new weapon, she will use it to keep the war going indefinitely.
Notes
Before leaving after having killed Uu'nat, pick up this quest and travel to Stormwind City to turn it in.
On complete:
- Anduin Wrynn says: When Sylvanas Windrunner became warchief, I knew we would not be friends... but I didn't want us to be enemies. Then came the massacre in Arathi... and the burning of Teldrassil.
- Anduin Wrynn says: It's clear she does not fight for Azeroth. She doesn't even fight for the Horde. She wages war upon life itself.
- Anduin Wrynn says: We are so close to ending this conflict and forging a lasting peace. But if Sylvanas uncovers some new weapon that allows her to keep fighting...
- His tone darkens and his commitment to action solidifies.
- Anduin Wrynn says: No. We must discover what she's after... and stop whatever madness she seeks to unleash upon us.
