Dialogue

Upon acceptance

Kayn Sunfury says: You heard Lord Illidan. Let's find that keystone.

Kayn Sunfury says: With it, we'll be able to invade any Legion world, including Argus.

Kor'vas Bloodhorn yells: Kill them all!

The demon hunters then charge down the ridge.

Upon approaching the banner site and turn-in

Kayn Sunfury says: I have some ideas for how to proceed.

Kayn Sunfury says: Cyana, Jace, Allari... find the keystone.

Kayn Sunfury says: Now, let's see about activating that gateway.

Notes

• There is a cave^{[22.6, 54]}
  near the start that may contain a Small Treasure Chest.
• The quickest way to complete this quest is to find and target one of the Imp Mothers; not only does she count as a kill, so does each low-health imp she summons.
• Upon completion of this quest, all demons within Despair Ridge will be dead.
