Quest Text
<Oronok adjusts his posture and stands to his full height.> I had to be sure, {name}. And to be sure, I had to test you. Please excuse the little masquerade. I am as much a farmer as you are a felboar. Which is to say, not at all. If you are to recover the Cipher of Damnation, you will need to listen to what I have to tell you. When you are ready, let me know and I will tell you the story.
Plan the run before you travel
Shadowmoon Valley belongs to the Warlords of Draenor archive. Start with its campaign track if this record is unavailable or the next step is missing.
Open the Wowhead page for coordinates, NPC spawn comments, cave entrances, and player-submitted route notes. WoW-God links out instead of copying community comments.
No group size is listed by Blizzard, so this is usually soloable unless the objective text says otherwise.
Pin the quest in-game, enable objective outlines, then use the exact-title references in the archive for NPC or object coordinates. Add a correction below if the live game differs from this record.
