Objectives Edit

The Ebon Watcher at the Valley of Echoes in Icecrown wants you to kill Salranax the Flesh Render, Underking Talonox and High Priest Yath'amon.

•  Salranax the Flesh Render slain
•  Underking Talonox slain
•  High Priest Yath'amon slain

Description Edit

You must defeat the lords of Scourgeholme if this place is to be free of the Scourge's grasp.

Salranax the Flesh Render lords over the temple on the first tier of Scourgeholme. Nearby Salranax you'll find High Priest Yath'amon preaching at the spirit tower on the second tier. Underking Talonox holds court at the Pit of Fiends, up the high road.

These are formidable opponents and must be approached with caution. Use this war horn should you require aid. The death knights of Acherus will come.

•  [War Horn of Acherus] (provided)

Rewards Edit

You will be able to choose one of these rewards:

	[Leiah's Footpads]		[Sixen's Skullcap]
	[Cobalt's Shoulderguards]		[Jayde's Reinforced Handguards]

Progress Edit

Finish them, <name>!

Completion Edit

A hard fought victory, <name>! The lieutenants will be replaced, but at least for today the air about Scourgeholme stands still.

Notes Edit

Using the horn will summon a different death knight on each mob:

• Munch, an orc death knight, and his ghoul Melt will help you killing Salranax.
• Jayde, a blood elf death knight, will assist you in killing Yath'amon.
• Highlord Darion Mograine will help you kill Talonox, who is up north at the Pit of Fiends.

After killing the third named mob, take the Death Gate back to the Valley of Echoes.

This quest's rewards are named after players who were active in WotLK Friends and Family Alpha. More information concerning these Death Knights can be found here: The Death Knights of Acherus.

• Mograine attacking Underking Talonox:

Highlord Darion Mograine says: You challenge death itself! Come then, "King." Face the might of Mograine!

• Underking Talonox dead:

Highlord Darion Mograine says: I will see you back at the Valley of Echoes. Suffer well, ally.
