Objectives

Meet Highlord Bolvar inside the Chamber of First Reflection in Bastion.

Description

I think I know what will be asked of us in Bastion. It will not be easy.

With this half of the Helm, we have collected the first part of what is needed to resist Domination. But there are those of us who have also suffered from it. Lived through it.

In a way, it has marked us. All of us.

There must be something in those experiences that will help us break free from Zovaal's influence.

Let us go to the Chamber of First Reflection in Bastion.

Rewards

You will receive:

• 2 57 40
• 1,000 XP

Completion

Good, you've arrived.

We have assembled those who have suffered from Domination in the past. Some more recently than others.

All have come through it, not always intact, but we are still standing. That is what we must capture.

Notes

On accept:

Highlord Bolvar Fordragon says: We will need to bring the remaining shards of the helm as well.

Taelia Fordragon says: I can bear them to Bastion, father.

Once again, no shortcut is provided. The fastest manual way to the Chamber of First Reflection is to go back to Haven, use the Ancient Waystone to Oribos, and then take the flight path to Aspirant's Rest. Waiting at the bottom of the chamber is most of the campaign's main characters: Kleia, Darion, Taelia, Bolvar, Jaina, Anduin, Baine, Thrall, Sylvanas, and Pelagos. The broken pieces of the Helm of Domination are floating in the center. On approach:

Kleia says: These mirrors will focus your memories to draw out the ones that we need.

Sylvanas Windrunner says: This is a perilous undertaking, kyrian. Domination magic is not easy to overcome.

Highlord Bolvar Fordragon says: We must harness what is within us. There is no other choice.

Anduin Wrynn says: It must be done. I am willing to bear any suffering so long as it will help.

Darion has new gossip text:

We stand together in strength. Our suffering will be for the good of all.

And Sylvanas:

There is no time to waste.

Thrall's gossip:

Though fighting for the Shadowlands is important, I miss the peacefulness of Nagrand and the bustle of Orgrimmar.

Let us hope that we are nearing a final victory here^[sic] in Zereth Mortis.

I'm certainly not the only one who longs to see the stars of home.

The others use the same gossip as they did earlier in the questline.
