The Shadow of His Wings concludes the self-named chapter of the  [Sojourner of the Waking Shores] side-storyline.

Objectives

Cygenoth
Self-appointed Voice of Neltharion and leader of the Worldbreakers.

Confront Cygenoth, Voice of Neltharion.

Description

The Voice of Neltharion resides below, spreading lies amongst his followers.

He appears to be dragonspawn like me.[sic] but his Draconic is clumsy--fit for the unscaled.

I suspect duplicity: an illusion, perhaps. If we can subdue him, I'm certain the truth will out.

Rewards

You will be able to choose one of these rewards:
Inv staff 2h dragonquest b 01.png [Neltharian Channeler's Rod] Inv crossbow 2h dragonquest b 01.png [Obsidian Watcher's Crossbow]
Inv axe 1h dragonquest b 03.png [Obsidian Guardian's Cleaver] Inv axe 1h dragonquest b 02.png [Obsidian Spellsplitter]
Inv sword 2h dragonquest b 01.png [Doomsayer's Greatsword] Inv hand 1h dragonquest b 01.png [Blacktalon Claw]

You will also receive:

Completion

We quenched the last embers of the Twilight's Hammer today. But the Worldbreakers are another matter--these scaleborn will find new explanations for their misfortune, new myths, and new leaders.

My kin and I will watch over them. Should another Voice rise, we will intervene.

You've done a good thing this day.

Notes

On accept:

Ingot says: You mean the Voice of Neltharion is... lying?
Ayasanth says: Most certainly. And if we can reveal his falsehoods to your kin, perhaps the Worldbreakers will change their ways.

Ingot and Ayasanth will follow along. Enter the cave to the west, which is in a special phase for this quest:

Ingot says: What is a "death wing" anyways?
Ayasanth says: A terrible tragedy and a distant memory. You will understand when you've shed.
Ingot nods blankly.

Approach Cynegoth:

Ayasanth says: Cygenoth is just up ahead. Take care, champion.
Cygenoth yells: Worldbreakers, beware! The outsider returns with reinforcements! They seek to corrupt our young!
Ayasanth runs toward Cygenoth, confronting him.
Cygenoth says: The Earthwarder will not stand for this. Witness the powers he has gifted me!
Ayasanth says: Enough of this charade, Cygenoth. Deathwing is dead, and no cult can--
Cygenoth yells: Silence!
Cygenoth binds Ayasanth with Void Tendrils.

Mid-fight, Cygenoth sheds his disguise and reveals himself to be an ogre!

Cygenoth yells: Bah--this illusion stifles my power! Die, meddlers!

At 15%:

Cygenoth yells: The Twilight's Hammer did not die with Cho'gall, and it will not die with me!

Kill Cygenoth:

Cygenoth says: More... will rise...
Ayasanth says: So he was Twilight's Hammer all along. One of the last.
Several Worldbreaker Initiates approach.
Worldbreaker Initiate says: The Voice was unscaled!
Worldbreaker Initiate says: We have been deceived!
Worldbreaker Initiate says: Earth-Warder forgive us...
Ingot says: All is well, friends! The outsiders are here to help us!
Ayasanth says: Though we seem to have done as much harm as good.
Ayasanth says: Champion, meet us on the ridge. Hopefully the survivors will let us pass without issue.

The previously hostile dragonkin outside turn neutral.

Completing the quest also awards the "Shadow of His Wing" criterion of  [Sojourner of the Waking Shores]. Additionally, a new weekly quest, N [70W] Same as the Old Boss, is available on the surface near Igys the Believer.
