Vortex completes the quest chain at Thunder Peak in Ashenvale, in which the elements of water, earth, and air must subdue their brother element of fire, Lord Magmathar.

Lord Magmathar
The very essence of Thunder Peak. Snuff him out!

Objectives

Use the powers of the Whirling Vortex to slay Lord Magmathar.

• Lord Magmathar slain

Description

The time has come, <name>. When you have steeled yourself we will speak again and I will summon forth a whirling vortex to speed your way up to the skies over Thunder Peak.

Channel the power of the Earthen Ring through the elemental to slay Lord Magmathar so that we may bring him into balance once more.

Rewards

You will be able to choose one of these rewards:

	[Blossom of the Earthen Ring]			[Subduer's Gloves]
	[Belt of Equilibrium]

You will also receive:

• 35
• 2400 XP

Progress

Lord Magmathar must still be slain, <name>.

Completion

You've done it! The spirits were right after all!

The power of fire is subdued and the four elements are returned to harmony.

The rest of Ashenvale is spared this fiery fate. You have the eternal thanks of the Earthen Ring.
