Objectives[]
Review the plans with the various members of Wrathion's forces.
- Fao the Relentless consulted
- Archivist Edress consulted
- Talonstalker Kavia consulted
- Forgemaster Bazentus consulted
- Report your findings to Wrathion at the Obsidian Bulwark.
Description[]
Attacking the djaradin controlling the Obsidian Citadel will be no easy task. Even with Wrathion and his Blacktalon forces, this will be a fierce battle. Wrathion may be confident, but... I am not so certain.
Perhaps we can speak to those helping to plan the strategy, and see if we can find any room for improvement.
Rewards[]
You will receive:
- 25
74 - 9,050 XP
- +100 reputation with Valdrakken Accord
Progress[]
Can you improve our odds of success?
Completion[]
I see. I shall consider your evaluation carefully, of course.
Notes[]
- Upon accept of both
- Wrathion says: Years of searching, and there it stands... my legacy.
- Wrathion says: Once you've finished your assessment, we'll begin the assault.
- Emberthal joining
- Scalecommander Emberthal says: I believe I could be of some help to you. Let us review Wrathion's preparations for the assault.
- Speaking with Fao
- Might we review the battle plans?
- My best strategists have created a plan that should have a high probability of success, with sufficient forces.
Might we review the battle plans?- But please, review our plan. Your opinion is highly valued, champion.
Click on the Blacktalon Battle Plans to review them.
- Scalecommander Emberthal says: Fao is right--the plan is sound. But I fear we lack the forces to execute it successfully.
- Approaching Edress
- Archivist Edress says: It is an honor to be in the presence of such an esteemed ally of the Black Prince.
- What has your research found?
- Archivist Edress says: The walls of the Obsidian Citadel have stood strong for thousands of years.
- Archivist Edress says: With that kind of strength, there is no way the djaradin could have attacked it head on.
- Archivist Edress says: I suspect the djaradin have instead used their elemental magic to crack the earth beneath the Citadel, entering from within Neltharus, the Obsidian fortress.
- Scalecommander Emberthal says: If the walls of the citadel are built to withstand the djaradin, they'll surely prove a challenge for us as well. This will only aid the djaradin defending there.
The opposing forces
- Approaching Kavia
- Talonstalker Kavia says: I heard rumors you were here.
- What have you observed?
- Talonstalker Kavia says: It is best you see the size of their defensive force for yourself.
Click on the Scouting Scope.
- Scalecommander Emberthal says: So many... we do not have the forces to break through those defenses!
- Speaking with Bazentus
- Tell me about the weapons in the Citadel.
- The Earth-Warder's Forge created Obsidian Seared armor and weapons. A dragonkin equipped with such was a fair match for a hundred mortal soldiers.
- We must reignite the flames of the forge so we can use its power again.
- Thank you for the information.
- Scalecommander Emberthal says: Some of those crafted weapons have surely fallen into djaradin hands. They can be used against us!
- Upon completion
- Wrathion says: I value your judgment <name>. You are correct--our forces are few in number.
- Wrathion says: But you forget... we also have myself. I am an incalculable advantage, and I will not be denied my legacy.
