The Head of the Beast

A level 31 quest for the Alliance, from level 16.

Unchanged in Forever as far as is known: the text, objectives and rewards below are Classic’s.

Quest Objectives

Speak to Mathias Shaw in Stormwind.

Description

Find Shaw in Old Town. Let him know that the Lescovar threat has been dealt with and about your involvement in the Lord's plots against the city. I'm sure he'll be proud to have another hero among Stormwind's citizens.

He'll more than likely send you off to meet with the Prince or some other noble. Don't let it get to your head, ‹name›. The nobles can think they rule the city all they want, but some things remain out of their hands.

Rewards

Experience: 250

When you hand it in

He is dead, then? Your justice was swift, ‹name›. I pray to the Light that I never become your quarry!

I mean no criticism, ‹name›. How could I, being the master of all assassins? But in truth, you have done the people of Stormwind a great service, and for that, I thank you.
