Quest Text
You might wonder why I go to such lengths to hide my intentions. Why not throw my lot in openly with the naaru? My very essence - my soul - is held prisoner inside the Black Temple. Illidan could destroy me any moment... until now! This phylactery will allow me to regain control of my soul. The time has come, {name}. I'll lead Maiev and my Deathsworn to Illidan's doorstep. Speak to A'dal and and tell him of our plan. If we strike together we'll break through Illidan's defenses.
Plan the run before you travel
Check the quest area, faction, and level range before you travel. If this quest is part of a chain, finish nearby campaign quests in the same zone first.
Open the Wowhead page for coordinates, NPC spawn comments, cave entrances, and player-submitted route notes. WoW-God links out instead of copying community comments.
No group size is listed by Blizzard, so this is usually soloable unless the objective text says otherwise.
Pin the quest in-game, enable objective outlines, then use the exact-title references in the archive for NPC or object coordinates. Add a correction below if the live game differs from this record.
