What To Do

Quest Text
The weapons are authentic, as we feared. Illidan is training demon hunters at the Ruins of Karabor and we must put an end to it. Do not be fooled by their name, {name}, their power will be used against us as often as against any demon. Their warlocks summon and subdue demons to be used as part of the initiates' training. A pit lord named Azaloth has proven too strong to be used in training and is kept banished. Find a way to let him loose on his captors. That should buy us the time we need.
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.
