Find your way inside Oribos to learn what is happening.

Description[]

<You arrive alone at the precipice of a strange city, knowing the leaders of Azeroth remain trapped in the Maw.

Wherever you are, it is clearly very, very far from home.

It appears your arrival has been noticed.>

You will receive:

  • 11g 70s
  • 3,400 XP

Progress[]

Try to communicate with the guards and enter the city.

Completion[]

Could it be? An actual mortal being in the Eternal City? The Purpose be served!

Notes[]

This quest starts upon entering Oribos, after leaving the Maw in N [50] Stand as One:

Attendant Protector says: An agent of the Maw is attacking Oribos! Defend the Arbiter!
Protector Captain says: Hold. The Maw's power does linger upon them, but I sense ... No, that cannot be possible!

Step forward and speak with the highlighted Protector Captain:

Who are you, stranger?
Gossip Where am I? Have I escaped the Maw?

Nearby protectors will say any of the following:

  • Attendant Protector says: An intruder? How is that possible?
  • Attendant Protector says: Did they just escape the Maw? Impossible!
  • Attendant Protector says: From the Maw? I refuse to believe it!
  • Attendant Protector says: Is our faith in the Purpose being tested?
  • Attendant Protector says: It must be the Purpose. It guides us always.
  • Attendant Protector says: That being reeks of the Maw!
  • Attendant Protector says: We must bring them to the overseers at once!

Follow the spoken-to protector:

Protector Captain says: Come with us, stranger.

Inside the Enclave, more denizens respond:

Overseer Kah-Delen says: The reports from our scryers were unmistakable. The Maw shuddered for a moment, as if reacting to some change.
Overseer Kah-Sher says: An ill omen, to be certain. What can it mean?
Attendant Protector says: Overseers! This stranger appeared at the city's edge. I believe them to be... a living mortal.
Overseer Kah-Delen says: Another unexpected development. We will see to their reception.

Speak with Kah-Delen:

A mortal in Oribos? The Purpose has brought a mortal to us?
Gossip Are you in charge here? Where am I?
Overseer Kah-Delen says: Impossible!
