Rewards:
2 73

Objectives Edit

Kill Balnazzar.

•  Balnazzar slain

Description Edit

With the fall of the Scarlet Crusade, their disguised demon leader, Balnazzar, released the possessed body of Grand Crusader Dathrohan and went on a rampage, killing every remaining crusader here. He then used his necromantic power to raise them all as vile undead slaves.

Balnazzar refers to his new army as the Risen. We cannot let him grow this army - they are extremely powerful and, unlike Arthas' Scourge, Balnazzar will not hold his forces back. Kill him while we still have a chance, <class>.

Rewards Edit

You will receive: 2 67

Progress Edit

The Light commands you.

Completion Edit

It's good we stopped Balnazzar now. Before long, his army would have overtaken all of Stratholme, giving him a powerful center for his new unholy empire.

Notes Edit

After killing Balnazzar:

Crusade Commander Eligor Dawnbringer says: Well done, heroes. Balnazzar had been a threat for far too long. He had a hand in the Scourge and the Scarlet Crusade, two of our most difficult foes. The Risen may have tipped the balance against us, had they time to fester.

Crusade Commander Eligor Dawnbringer says: Regrettably, Balnazzar is not yet finished. Defeating a dreadlord in the mortal plane only sends it back to the Twisting Nether. He will be back one day, perhaps even working again with his brothers, Varimathas and Detheroc.

Crusade Commander Eligor Dawnbringer says: For now, we have regained control over this half of Stratholme and should rejoice for that. The former Bastion of the Silver Hand is back in the hands of its rightful owners. Countless treasures to the order reside here, and we now have a fortified location to launch our next assault.

Crusade Commander Eligor Dawnbringer says: That is where you come in, heroes. The war for Stratholme is not yet over. Leave this area and travel east to the Eastwall Gate. It is the service entrance to the city, and the last reimaning opening into Lord Aurius Rivendare's scourge-infested domain. If we defeat him, Stratholme will be ours once more.

Crusade Commander Eligor Dawnbringer says: I will meet you in Alonsus Chapel. It is the holy place where Uther the Lightbringer was ordained into the Silver Hand. It is the only building the Scourge cannot touch, and will be our forward base of operations in that half of the city. With your help, Stratholme will become the capital of the Light and a new beginning for Lordaeron.
