Changes: Black Temple attunement

Revision as of 08:10, 31 December 2007

To enter the Black Temple you need the [Medallion of Karabor]. This item is rewarded after completing [70] A Distraction for Akama.

The questline continues after that, allowing you to upgrade the medallion to [Blessed Medallion of Karabor]. This allows the bearer to teleport itself to the Black Temple's gates from anywhere in the worlds.

Description

The following quest chain needs to be completed for attunement into the Black Temple:

[70] Tablets of Baa'ri: Collect 12 Baa'ri tablet fragments from the ground and Ashtongue workers at the Ruins of Baa'ri for the Aldor/Scryers people.
[70] Oronu the Elder: Kill Oronu the Elder and take his Orders from Akama.
[70] The Ashtongue Corruptors: Obtain the fragments of the Medallion of Karabor, held by the Ashtongue Corruptors. This is from the quest log: "Haalum, Corruptor of Air, can be found at Netherwing Pass. Eykenen and Uylaru, Corruptors of Earth and Fire, were last seen at the Fel Pits near the Hand of Gul'dan. Lakaan, Corruptor of Water, is rumored to be near Coilskar Point."
[70] The Warden's Cage: Go to the Warden's Cage, and speak with Sanoru, one of the Ashtongue Deathsworn.
[70] Proof of Allegiance: Kill the satyr Zandras. He walks along the walls around the Warden's Cage.
[70] Akama: Speak to Akama. He is in a portion of the Warden's Cage accessed by a passage under the pool of water at the end of the room.

[70] Seer Udalo: Akama tells you that the pieces of the Medallion of Karabor you found were a mere replica, and he has the real thing. The final piece is missing, but one of his seers, Udalo, knows where it is. Udalo has been captured by Kael'thas and is being held in the Arcatraz. He is dead, but find his body anyway.
[70] A Mysterious Portent: Upon finding Udalo, you receive the next quest: Apparently the word "ata'mal" is written on the ground near him. Return to Akama.
[70] The Ata'mal Terrace: Go to the Ata'mal Terrace - the northern battlement of the Black Temple, crawling with fel orcs - and kill Shadowlord Deathwail and his warlocks. Deathwail has the crystal you need to obtain - the Heart of Fury. Bring it back to Akama.

[70] Akama's Promise: This quest is the final reward quest for the pre raid Akama chain of quests. Afterwards [70] The Secret Compromised opens up, involving speaking to Seer Olum in Serpentshrine Cavern. Akama places the Heart of Fury into the Medallion of Karabor. Take the Medallion to A'dal in Shattrath City; A'dal tells you of a vision, of Akama and Maiev (Illidan's prisoner, "held" by Akama) fighting through the Black Temple with a "shadowy figure" - you. You also receive 11g 40s, 1000 reputation with the Sha'tar and 1000 reputation with the Ashtongue Deathsworn, and a choice of [Akama's Sash], [Ashtongue Blade], [Bloodwarder's Rifle], [Verdant Gloves], [Spellbreaker's Buckler] or [Staff of the Ashtongue Deathsworn]. Your reputation should be 1925 at this point (non humans).

[70] Entry Into the Black Temple Travel to the entrance to the Black Temple in Shadowmoon Valley and speak to Xi'ri.
