Selfless Preservation
A verified Blizzard quest record from Zereth Mortis. Use the archive brief, rewards, and linked research to finish it without losing your place.
What To Do
Complete the quest objective shown in your tracker in Zereth Mortis, then return to the turn-in NPC.
Quest Text
The automa were once abundant here, singing, constructing various things, carrying out the purpose of the First Ones. Then, invaders from the Maw slaughtered them all. The last automa to fall were protecting something important in a nearby structure. I witnessed one of the cursed Mawsworn steal a device by the door. The Elders say we should not meddle with artifacts, but would it be a transgression to recover what was stolen?

Zereth Mortis belongs to the Shadowlands 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.
