Under the Shadow

Under the Shadow is one of the Scourge Invasion quests. This quest must be completed in order to purchase items in exchange for Necrotic Runes from any of the Argent Quartermasters at Light's Hope Chapel or the Argent Dawn camps found in capital cities.

Objectives
Check your map to find an area under Scourge attack. Go there and damage a necropolis by defeating the Scourge around them. Return 10 of their Necrotic Runes to Commander Thomas Helleran at Light's Hope Chapel in the Eastern Plaguelands.
 * Necrotic Rune: (10)

Description
The floating necropolises of the Scourge plague the lands of Horde and Alliance alike. Tanaris, the Blasted Lands, Winterspring and the Burning Steppes are blanketed in the shadows of the flying fortresses.
 * First version

Only through our combined efforts will they be turned away.

The necropolises are supported by magical circles at various points in the invaded areas. We have determined that destroying the mindless hordes that surround these circles will destroy their defenses.

 * Second version

Only through our combined efforts will they be repelled.

Each necropolis is supported by nearby magical circles, and among each circle swarms a host of undead creartures. We have determined that destroying these mindless hordes will destroy the circle's defenses.

Progress
It will take time to prevail against this threat. How have you fared, ?

Completion
You've done well,. Through these incremental defeats, we shall prevail against this renewed Scourge threat.

Rest and recover, but then you must head out to the front again, lest we lose the ground we have gained today.

To aid you in your further battles, we will make some of our special items available to you in trade for more necrotic runes.
