Progress
Today is the day that everything ends. But something new rises from the ashes.

Head south from Embaari and look for the marked cave entrance, the Waning Crescent. In the cave in the north fork is a rare mob, the Dark Emanation. Kill the Shadowmoon Voidwhisperers around it, then loot the void terror for an Abberant's Paw and 10-20x Garrison Resources. Closer to the end of the cave near the waterfall is a Glowing Cave Mushroom. Loot it for 10-20 Starflowers.

Run through the cave to enter Light's Fall. At the center of the area, is casting a ritual. Get close to start the encounter.

 * Ner'zhul teleports away. As Yrel looks on hopelessly, Velen gives her a reassuring look, transferring the naaru sigil on his forehead to her. Velen steps into the beam of void energy, sacrificing his own life to channel a beam of holy light into the Dark Star, purifying it and showing its true form: K'ara the naaru. As light flows across Shadowmoon Valley, Vindicator Maraad and the defenders of Karabor are blessed by Velen's light. K'ara floats down to greet Yrel and the commander.

On the other side, K'ara is in the center of the platform. Turn in to Yrel, keeling on the other side.

Prophet Velen is gone, and yet there is no time to mourn.

We will honor Velen's passing once the Iron Horde have fled from these hills.
