Words of Warding
A verified Blizzard quest record from The Maw. Use the archive brief, rewards, and linked research to finish it without losing your place.
What To Do
Complete the quest objective shown in your tracker in The Maw, then return to the turn-in NPC.
Quest Text
The towering citadel in the distance is protected by perilous walls, but its greatest dangers cannot be seen with mortal eyes. The Mawsworn have placed invisible runes of warding throughout Perdition Hold. These traps have caught many intruders unaware. The runes can be dispelled, but only if you can see them. I believe one of their soulcloaks should give you the sight you require. Good luck.

The Maw belongs to the Shadowlands archive. Start with its campaign track if this record is unavailable or the next step is missing.
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.
