Objectives

Defeat Prince Valanar and his lieutenants, Vanthyrn the Merciless and Luthion the Vile, then report to Chieftain Wintergale at Taunka'le Village.

• Prince Valanar slain
• Vanthyrn the Merciless slain
• Luthion the Vile slain
• Suggested Players [3]

Description

On the lowest tier of the Temple City, there is an angry red orb. Speak the words from the scrolls in front of it to gain entry to the dread necropolis Naxxanar.

Be cautious, <name>. Prince Valanar will certainly be defended by his personal retainers, who will give their lives to keep you from ascending to the top level of the necropolis.

You must find your way through the necropolis to the prince's seat. If you fail to defeat him, <name>, I fear my people will never know the safety Icemist offers.

Rewards

You will be able to choose one of these rewards:

Chain of Vigilant Thought Item Level 32Disenchants into:  [Small Glowing Shard]: 1 Binds when picked up Neck +2 Intellect +3 Stamina +2 Critical Strike Sell Price: 3 77 74 Clutch of Undying Will Item Level 32Disenchants into:  [Small Glowing Shard]: 1 Binds when picked up Neck +2 Intellect +3 Stamina +2 Versatility Sell Price: 3 77 74 Choker of Forceful Redemption Item Level 32Disenchants into:  [Small Glowing Shard]: 1 Binds when picked up Neck +2 Agility or Strength +3 Stamina +2 Critical Strike +3 Haste Sell Price: 3 77 74

You will also receive: 9 40

Completion

With the prince defeated, the Scourge presence in Borean Tundra is broken. I have no illusions that they will stay away for long, which is why I must focus on preparing Durm to lead the villagers on their way to Icemist.

<The chieftain shakes his head slowly.>

For all the disagreements I've had with Durm, I trust his judgment and his abilities. I cannot bring myself to abandon Taunka'le, so I will defend it until I am slain.
