Quest Text
<Ares gasps for air as he tries to speak.> I am an envoy of the Argent Crusade, charged with a sacred duty. Our forces were decimated in the Plaguelands. By the light of dawn, the artifact was cleansed and made pure once more. So many perished in the wake of its redemption. There is still a chance... still time. The artifact was hurled into the den of the fallen, far below us. Guarded by the unmerciful dead. <Ares' body glows with blinding light.> Light. Will. Protect. You.
Plan the run before you travel
Howling Fjord belongs to the Wrath of the Lich King 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.
