Hello everyone!
Patch 7.2 added questlines to unlock the new traits for your artifact which is obtainable
after getting 35 traits in your weapon.
While we focus our efforts on assaulting the broken shore and the tomb of sargeras, we
must be careful to guard against others threats.
We’ve been getting disturbing reports on the Legion starting or supporting indirect
threats to Azeroth.
While fighting against the Legion, we must keep an eye out for strange objects or intelligence
that could give uas a clue as to what and where these threats are.
We find a mysterious runebound scroll on the corpse of our enemy which confirms our concerns
about indirect Legion threats.
It’s time to discuss this with the council of six in Dalaran.
“Come.
I think this is a matter best discussed privately.”
Open up gate to purple parlor, teleport up “Damn it!
Another attack.
Stay alert!”
Upstairs we find dead demons on the floor and an unconscious conjurer Weinhaus.
She’ll be oke though the demon didn’t hang around long enough to finish the job.
The ill tiding we bear only increase the concerns the council has been having.
We have our hands full with the Tomb Of Sargeras which is our top priority- but we must not
think the Legion foolish enough to rely on brute force alone.
“As you can see, the Legion’s reach still extends beyond the Broken shore.”
Get in position “Their agents lurk across Azeroth, threatening
to subvert our efforts at the tomb.
They are some of the Legion’s most powerful champions.”
Activate display “If the plans of these fiends come to fruition,
all our efforts – all our sacrifices – will have been for naught.
Much has been asked of you in the course of this war, champion.
I fear even more is needed.
We must enlist your help to hunt these targets down.
You may be the only one with any chance of stopping them.”
So what do you say?
Up for a challenge?
“Excellent!
I can think of no one better suited to the task.
We stand ready to inform you about all known threats.”
This questline, to my knowledge, is available for Affliction Warlock, Marksmanship Hunter,
Balance Druid, Frost Mage and Shadow Priest.
Archmage Karlain has received a request from an old friend called karam Magespear, to help
find his brother named Raest.
Karam fears that Raest is dealing with dark powers and wishes to him.
Originally Raest trained with the Kirin Tor, but his desire for power turned him to the
forbidden art of Necromany and they kicked him, very similar to what happend with Kel’thuzad.
At the Legerdemain lounge we find Karam who knows that his brother has been misguided
in the past, but now fears that he may have fallen in with an unthinkable evil.
He recently began meeting in secret with a dark cult, hidden amongst the people of Dalaran.
Karam already tried to convince his brother of the error in his ways, but Raest would
not be shaken from his course and now he has disappeared.
The last time that they saw eachother, Raest was staying in a room upstairs which we check
for clues and we find a mysterious note.
It appears to be from one of the cultists Karam spoke of and as we check out the note,
a nethersworn assassin strikes.
The note says:
My lord, preparations are nearly complete.
As we speak, our brethren scour the shadow markets of the Underbelly to acquire the final
reagents for the ritual.
Everything will be ready for the appointed day.
Shadows light the way.
Signed, Eriah.
So his brother has gone off to perform some ritual with these cultists whichexplains why
he left, but still not to where...
The letter mentions the nethersworn seeking reagents in the underbelly so that’s where
we go next to question the underbelly lowlifes to find more information.
“My shield is yours.
Lead the way to the Underbelly.
Let us hope we are not too late.”
The first underbelly we approach hands us a parchment since he wants nothing to do with
their cult.
“What trickery is this?!”
Eriah Dawnsbane: “Such fools...Did you really think you could get away so easy?
Let me show you Nethersworn’s mercy!”
The manifesto has a riddle for us, it says:
From the shadows will come.
The one who came before.
When the world was unripe, he sowed the seeds.
His fruits left for the righteous to tend.
We must shape the world for his rebirth.
For only the faithful will stand in his shadow.
In the darkest corners of Azeroth we will hide.
To keep blind those without faith.
Knowing no bonds and carrying no weight.
Ever vigilant for the return.
And on that day, when the world is ripe.
Our rites will carve a path for his ascension.
And at the place its skin is thinnest.
He will pierce the heart of this wounded world.
To the shadows he will return.
And return the shadow to this world.
“My lord...I have failed you...”
Karam has never been very good with riddles so we take the information to Karlain who
has never heard of this Nethersworn cult before, but he does have a theory.
The writing it speaks of the place its skin is thinnest which might refer to the place
where the veil between Azeroth and the Twisting Nether is weakest – the Tomb of Sargeras.
With our forces having established a foothold at the Broken Shore, this would be an opportune
time for Raest and his cultist allies to reach the tomb so we must go out and try to stop
him.
“I will scout ahead and see what I can find near this tomb.
Find me at the broken shore!”
“Over here!”
A bunch of magical wards on the floor block our way to the cultists who are in the middle
of some kind of the ritual.
We need to make our way across and not step on any of the purple tiles or it’s a quick
demise.
For those wondering if there’s any previous established story with this cult or the brothers,
I don’t believe there is.
The fun fact that I was able to find comes from a WoWhead comment which says that Karam
and his brother Raest are reference to Caramon and Raistlin Majere twins from Dragonlance
saga.
The Caramon was a warrior and some times portrayed wearing plate armor with "wings" on the head
piece and Raistlin a neutral and then an "evil" black robe mage much like he is portrayed
in the game.
Caramon also used to call Raistlin, Raist therefor they named Reast in WoW.
The more you know!
so we’ve made our way across, time to confront Raest.
“The wards have abated!
Let us cut through these vile cultists!”
“You are too late, foolish brother.
The Twisting Nether awaits me and with it, unlimited power!
All of Azeroth will kneel upon my return!”
“Stop this madness, brother!
You can still be redeemed!”
“Your tiny mind cannot comprehend the forces that will soon be at my command!
Perhaps I should give you a taste...”
“I hope you enjoy my creation, brother.
It saddens me that it ends this way...”
Raest sacrifices his fellow cult members to summon thar’kith, buying himself enough
time to make a clean escape.
“No!
The rift is closing!”
We’re too late to stop him as the rift is closed so we’ll have to find another way
to get to him.
At least his cultists should prove less of a threat now so we inform the Kirin Tor of
what has happened and they’ll set out at once to figure out how we can reach Raest
in the Twisting Nether.
Our heroic deed merits more than mere recognition, the council wants to reward our heroism in
the face of such darkness with a portion of their power.
“Step back and raise your weapon.
We will infuse it with a portion of this council’s power.”
“I will scout ahead and interrupt this quest” “Our power manifests: Kirin’var torel,
ahm shalar, azakim!”
Ahaaaa more powerrrr “Together!
We must all lend our strength!”
INFUSE ME WITH YOUR POWAR Woei more traits to fill
“The Legion sought to use its agents to subvert our efforts at the Tomb of Sargeras.
Thanks to your efforts, they failed.
Now we focus on driving their armies from Azeroth.
We will give everything we have and finish this...once and for all!”
“Highlord, once again you have fought to safeguard Azeroth’s future.
On behalf of the entire council, thank you.”
This is where the story to unlock our traits ends, but Raest is still out there and with
the Mage Tower build up on the broken shore, we can make our way into the twisting nether
to try and stop him before it’s too late.
“Champion!
Our mages have pinpointed the location of Raest Magespear within the Twisting Nether!
We have little information to work from, but it seems he found a way to use the energy
of the Twisting Nether to enhance his necromantic magic.
Karam insisted on being sent in ahead of you, but I fear he cannot face this challenge alone.
We will open a portal to his location, but can’t hold it open long.
Raest must be stopped!”
“You were a fool to follow me, brother.
The Twisting Nether feeds my strength.
I have become more powerful than you could ever imagine!”
“I cannot let you unleash your power upon Azeroth, Raest.
If you do not yield, I will be forced to destroy you!”
“Destroy me?!
No, brother.
Your blade will become my instrument!”
“What?!
What are you doing?
Noooo!”
“Kill this interloper, brother!”
“I...obey.”
This is where the true challenge begins and you actually require a bit of gear and skill
with the class, something that I’m lacking so unfortunately I won’t be finishing this
quest myself.
However, Flufflol on youtube has uploaded a video of his kill on this fight, a video
which I’ll link in the description down below.
The fight contains a whole lot of kiting around since as you could see, Karam has a fair bit
of power in his weapon.
There are shadowy fiends that pop up, demonic hands, runes that you need to stand on and
at the end of the fight not only Raest is taken down, but we’re also forced to kill
his brother Karam.
Karlain will mourn the death of both, Karam’s most of all since he was truly a beacon of
light.
He only hopes that the stories of his sacrifice will live throughout the ages.
That is how you unlock this specific skin for the artifact and like I said, if you want
to see the fight check out the video in the description down below.
Which means we’ve reached the end of this video so thank you very much for watching
everyone!
