Campaign

Loyal to the Primus

Welcome To Our House

Upon your return to Maldraxxus, you learned that the Seat of the Primus remains under siege. In binding your service to the Necrolords, you have sworn to turn the tide of battle.

You have repelled the enemy forces who were assailing the Seat of the Primus... for now.

Highlord Bolvar Fordragon sent you into Torghast, Tower of the Damned to rescue Baine Bloodhoof from the clutches of Warden Arkoban.

With Baine safe in Oribos, you returned to Torghast with one of the Warden's keys to plunge further into the tower's depths. Your search brought you to a mysterious prisoner known as the Runecarver.

You recovered one of the Runecarver's memories from the Maw, then worked with Ve'nari to free one of his bonds. In exchange, the Runecarver has offered to help you craft powerful armor.
