Objectives

Use the Violet Scrying Crystal near underground sources of water in the Master's Cellar and return to Archmage Alturus outside of Karazhan.

• Underground Well Reading: 0/1
• Underground Pond Reading: 0/1
• [Violet Scrying Crystal]: 0/1

Details

• There are two staircases down into the cellars. They are both in different ruined buildings just to your left as you face the quest-giver. The openings are a bit obscured by the walls to the buildings.

• The well is down the furthest stairs. Go down the steps and the ramps to the huge room at the bottom, and hang a right. The well is on your right when you finally get to the room at the end of that long hallway.

• The pond is down the closer stairs. Go down, drop down the hole into the caverns, and, well, you'll see it on your minimap, a large blue area.

Description

I'm trying to obtain an imprint of Karazhan's energy... for a personal project, of course. Unfortunately, I'm not getting anything up here. If I could get near an underground water source, my crystal would pick up the signals much more clearly.

I've heard of an underground pond as well as a well in a cellar below us. This whole place is crawling with ghosts however, and venturing there would be hazardous for someone my age. What do you say; will you help an old man and perform the scrying for me?

• [Violet Scrying Crystal] (Provided)

Progress

The readings, <name>. Did you complete them?

Completion

These readings do not bode well, <name>. Karazhan should be emanating all manner of arcane currents... instead it has become a huge energy vacuum. No signals. Nothing. Except for a very faint demonic echo.

This is bad news, <name>.
