This quest concludes the Forging the Scourgestone quest chain.

Objectives

Unlock the secrets of the Temple of Atal'Hakkar to release Atal'alarion and recover the Putrid Vine from his flesh. Return to Mehlar at the Bulwark when you have done this.

• [Putrid Vine]

Quest text

If you wish to turn these stones into a weapon to fight the Scourge, you must acquire something equally vile to fortify them.

An ancient evil lies hidden at the bottom of the Temple of Atal'Hakkar in the Swamp of Sorrows. Release the creature there and destroy him, taking only a small part of his body back to Mehlar Dawnblade. My guards will deliver the scourgestone fragments to Mehlar.

Progression

Given that you are alive, I can only surmise you were lucky enough to receive wisdom rather than death from Lady Sylvanas.

Completion

The Banshee Queen has guided you well. This is precisely what I need to combine the fragments.

<Mehlar watches as the vine interweaves through the fragments, binding them together.>

There! Scourgebane, I shall call it. Be wary when you use it, for it serves you against its will.
