The Dreadlord's Prize

Objectives
Defeat Kathra'natir in Violet Hold.
 * Kathra'natir slain
 * Recover the Forge of the Guardian
 * Listen to Meryl

Description
Kathra'natir escaped my grasp, but I know what his next step will be.

He seeks an ancient relic called the Forge of the Guardian, used for centuries by the Council of Tirisfal to infuse their power into the Guardian. The forge was hidden away, its location known only to the Council themselves.

Now the dreadlord has this knowledge.

We must go to the Violet Hold. I only hope we are not too late.

Rewards
You will learn: Teleport: Hall of the Guardian

You will also receive:
 * (level 100)
 * 15,050 XP (level 100)

Progress
We must hurry!

Completion
In times past, the Council of Tirisfal called upon the Tirisgarde, the protectors of Dalaran, to do battle in the Guardian's absence.

It is clear now that the hall of the Tirisgarde must be rebuilt to face this new threat.

I need your help to accomplish this. First of all, you'll need to know how to get to this hall. I will show you.

Stage 1: Engage the Enemy

 * Help Meryl felstorm battle the dreadlord Kathra'natir.


 * Battle with Kathra'natir

Meryl runs in alongside you to confront Kathra'natir, who is overlooking the Forge of the Guardian sitting in the center of the hold.


 * yell
 * yell

Aggroing Kathra'natir:


 * yell
 * yell

Spellsteal the dreadlord's Vampiric Aura and Counterspell his Drain Life. After a few seconds, Meryl will say:
 * say

Meryl then seals Kathra'natir in a "Tomb of Ice", making him immune to all attacks and spells but also making him unable to attack, move or use spells.
 * say

Stage 2: The Forge Restrained

 * Destroy the Siphoning Rifts that are draining the Forge of the Guardian of its power.


 * Void Barrier passed
 * Siphoning Rift slain (4)

The path to the stairs behind the dreadlord is blocked by a barrier that will knock you back if you attempt to run or jump past it, so use Blink to get past. After 90 seconds, if players have not figured out how to get past, the game provides a hint:


 * bossemote

After passing the barrier:


 * yell
 * say

Destroy the four Siphoning Rifts spread around the room. They have a Void Bolt ability and around 162,000 health (at level 100).

Stage 3: The Power of the Guardians

 * Activate the Forge of the Guardian.


 * Activate the Forge of the Guardian


 * say

Upon activating the forge, the next stage begins.

Stage 4: The Dreadlord's Downfall

 * Use the power granted by the Forge of the Guardian to defeat Kathra'natir.


 * Kathra'natir defeated

An immense orb of arcane energy forms above the Forge and begins channeling energy into you as you are lifted up in the air.


 * say

When you land back on the ground, you have been granted the "Mark of the Guardian" buff, which increases damage dealt by 1,000% and causes your character to glow with transparent blue light and be surrounded by shifting magical runes.

Meanwhile, Kathra'natir has broken free from his icy prison and begun strangling Meryl in mid-air with shadow magic.


 * yell
 * say

Upon attacking the dreadlord, Meryl is freed.


 * yell

With the 1,000% damage increase, it should only take one or a few spells to kill Kathra'natir. As in the first phase, keep spellstealing his Vampiric Aura and counterspelling his Drain Life if needed. Additionally, either use Slow Fall (ability) when Kathra'natir launches players up in the air, or Blink just before hitting the ground.

Upon killing Kathra'natir, he says:
 * yell

Stage 5: A Small Victory

 * Listen to Meryl Felstorm.


 * Listen to Meryl

After defeating the nathrezim, you are lifted back into the air as the Mark of the Guardian is channeled back into another arcane orb. Once the channeling has finished, the orb disappears and Alodi appears in its place.

Beta version
Kathra'natir escaped from my grasp, but I know where he plans to go.
 * Description

There is an ancient relic, the Forge of the Guardian, which has been used by the Council of Tirisfal for centuries to imbue the Guardian of Tirisfal with their power. The location of the forge is hidden, known only to the Council themselves.

Now, the dreadlord has this knowledge. We must go to the Violet Hold. I only hope we are not too late.

In times past, the Council of Tirisfal had called upon the Tirisgarde - the elite mage-guard of Dalaran - to do battle in the absence of the Guardian.

It is clear now that it must be rebuilt to face this new threat.

I will need your help to accomplish this. First of all, you'll need to know how to get to this hall. I will show you.
