What To Do
Complete the quest objective shown in your tracker in Tempest Keep, then return to the turn-in NPC.
Quest Text
Olum's sacrifice was tremendous. I would never have asked him to give up his life myself. But it is done. If we're to lure Illidan back into a false sense of security, we need to do his bidding - at least for now. I command a vast army of Ashtongue, but - aside from the Deathsworn - none can be trusted. You are to perform the deed that Illidan demands. Take this cowl; it is magical in nature. You will appear to be one of my men to any who see you slaying Kael's phoenix, Al'ar.
Plan the run before you travel
Check the quest area, faction, and level range before you travel. If this quest is part of a chain, finish nearby campaign quests in the same zone first.
Check the exact quest giver and turn-in records above first. Use this page's community comments for phase changes, cave entrances, spawn timing, and corrections from the live game.
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.
Objectives and map pin
Blizzard's public API publishes a quest's text and rewards but not its objectives, its own level, whether it can be shared, or any map coordinate. Nobody has synced quest 10946 yet, so there is nothing to show here rather than a guess. Running the WowGodSync addon while you play contributes those fields for everyone.
Check it in game
Quest completion is stored per character on Blizzard's side and is not in the public API, so paste this in your chat box and it prints true or false for “Ruse of the Ashtongue” on the character you are logged into.
/run print(C_QuestLog.IsQuestFlaggedCompleted(10946))/run print(C_QuestLog.IsQuestFlaggedCompletedOnAccount(10946))A false also comes back for a quest id the client does not know, so it means “not recorded as complete” rather than proof the quest exists on your account.
