Objectives

Slay 15 Desiccated Scourge within Andorhal.

Description

Darkmaster Gandling of the Cult of the Damned leads the Scourge offensive here in Andorhal. My old counterpart, Koltira, leads the Forsaken forces. If we're to win Andorhal, we'll have to defeat both, but we will certainly fail if we take on both at once.

I know Koltira well enough to know that he will focus on the Scourge first. We will do the same.

Take out the weaker, desiccated Scourge to reduce their numbers. The Forsaken will have to wait to taste our wrath.

Completion

You may not act quickly, but at least you do not fail me.

Very well. I will have a more important task for you, <name>, when the time is right.

Rewards

You will receive: 35

Notes

The mobs count for this quest are:

• Desiccated Magus
• Desiccated Spearman
