- Gul'dan's Soul Trap used [18.0, 30.4]
- Razuun slain [17.8, 30.2]
[Gul'dan's Soul Trap] (provided)
Description
Gul'dan is on the Shadow Rise just up the hill to the west. But, you must hurry, <name>. We know that he's about to leave for Talador and Frostfire Ridge.
The use of the soul trap is straightforward. Simply point and shoot to ensnare Gul'dan. The crystal will take care of the rest.
I'll see you back at Starfall Outpost when you have him.
Good luck.
- Image of Archmage Khadgar says: Be careful, my friend. Gul'dan is not to be underestimated no matter how prepared you might be.

Progress
Time is of the essence, <name>. We must secure Gul'dan before he leaves.
Run uphill to the west to find Gul'dan and Razuun on the Shadow Rise at a demon altar. Use the quest item on Gul'dan.
- Gul'dan yells: I... remember... you...
- Gul'dan, after a struggle, throws up a shield of fel energy.
- Gul'dan yells: I am not that easy.
- Gul'dan yells: Razuun, your time has come.
- Razuun says: What? No...
- Realizing what's about to happen Razuun attempts to flee, but Gul'dan binds him to the very stone he was working at, dragging him back to it.
- Razuun is transformed into a man'ari eredar.
- Gul'dan yells: Have fun dealing with this.
- Razuun says: DESTROY!
Defeat Razuun.
- Gul'dan yells: No matter. Soon there will be enough felblood to make thousands for the Burning Legion.
- Gul'dan yells: Do give my regards to Khadgar. I've a present coming for him.
Completion
Unfortunate, but not surprising. At least we were able to defeat one of the inner council members.
All is not lost, <name>. We know what the Shadow Council is up to and where they're heading.
We'll regroup in Talador. Together, we'll put an end to Teron'gor and his plans for Auchindoun.
Did you hear that?
On complete, a cutscene, the player is sapped.
- Archmage Khadgar says: Commander, what's wrong?
- Cordana Felsong says: Khadgar - someone's here!
- Garona sneaks behind Khadgar and attempts to backstab him, but Khadgar pops his
[Ice Block] just in time.
- Garona Halforcen says: Sorcerous coward.
- Cordana Felsong says: Assassin!
- Garona runs but Cordana intercepts her. They go at it for a few swings; Garona manages to stun Cordana then leaps backward on top of a small boulder.
- Garona Halforcen says: Gul'dan sends his best.
- Garona vanishes. Cordana runs back over to Khadgar.
- Cordana Felsong says: I knew it. You should've stayed back at the garrison, Archmage.
- Khadgar dispels the Ice Block.
- Archmage Khadgar says: Nonsense. I had that handled. Cool as a cucumber.
