Description[]

It looks like your friend didn't make it. A pity, but we must move on.

You'll want to plead our case to Helya. She is the ruler here. I would accompany you, but I'm afraid I wouldn't help your case.

Meet me when you are finished. I will see if I can find the whereabouts of my shieldmaidens.

Completion[]

<Helya's voice fills the air as you stand>^[sic]

Nobody leaves Helheim without my approval! Entertain me, and I may let you pass.

Notes[]

As you approach the throne, you see not only Helya, but Sylvanas Windrunner as well. As soon as you come near, Sylvanas lifts a large lantern and Helya appears to empower it with a spell.

Helya says: Remember our bargain, banshee. Do not dare to cross me...

Lady Sylvanas Windrunner says: Ah, my loyal hero.

Lady Sylvanas Windrunner says: You must not languish here. The Aegis cannot fall into enemy hands!

Lady Sylvanas Windrunner says: The future of the Horde depends on you and I. Find your way back to Stormheim - I will be waiting.

Lady Sylvanas Windrunner says: What have we here? Another one of Greymane's mercenaries?

Lady Sylvanas Windrunner says: No matter. Soon you will witness the birth of a new age.

Lady Sylvanas Windrunner says: If you ever make it out of here, that is.

Sylvanas leaps to the top of one of the pillars, gives you a cocky wave and jumps down out of sight.

Use the altar:

Helya's massive presence looms in the distance from the platform.

This altar appears to be a means to communicate with her.

I do not belong here! I wish to leave Helheim!

Helya says: Unworthy! You will kneel before addressing the great Helya!
