Nefarian and recover the Red Scepter Shard. Return the Red Scepter Shard to Anachronos at the Caverns of Time in Tanaris. You have 5 hours to complete this task.
Description[]
Champion, is it you? A thousand years it has been since I was entrusted the shard and it is at my darkest hour that one should rise to relieve me of it... But what would tragedy be without cruelty?
<Vaelastrasz coughs weakly.>
Ne... Nefarius now holds the scepter shard.
Time is of the essence. Nefarius plans to destroy the shard. You must hurry!
Notes[]
- It is advised that players talk to Vaelastraz to pick up this quest before the event is started. There is a very short period of time after someone starts the event while Vael is still friendly if it is still necessary to pick up the quest.
- After accepting the quest, Nefarius will yell: Looking for this: [Red Scepter Shard]? Come and get it...
- Some time later may yell the following:
- I wonder, heroes, what will you do when I manage to destroy this shard? Will the world be beyond Salvation?
Lord Victor Nefarius's laughter echoes through the halls of Blackwing. - What's this? A chip in the shard? Finally, a weakness exposed... It won't be long now.
- I wonder, heroes, what will you do when I manage to destroy this shard? Will the world be beyond Salvation?
- Failing to kill Nefarian within 5 hours results in looting [From the Desk of Lord Victor Nefarius] from the dragon (provided you still kill him) instead of the red shard.
Progress[]
Another of our heroes lost to the spawn of Deathwing. We will be cursed with this suffering forever...
Completion[]
Vaelastrasz's soul is at ease, champion. The Aspects all watch your progress with great interest. Know that you have powerful allies.
I was commanded to grant you something to aid you in this struggle. Use it well...
