The Tower of Althalaxx

A level 18 quest for the Alliance, from level 13.

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

Quest Objectives

Collect 4 Worn Parchments for Balthule Shadowstrike near the Tower of Althalaxx.

4Worn ParchmentDark Strand Fanatic 45%

Description

A group of warlocks has taken up residence around and inside the tower. I would have returned to Auberdine to report to Elissa earlier, but I was afraid that I might miss something while I was away.

Delgren suspected such a company might be gathering at the tower, but did not know why.

A few scraps of parchment that the warlocks carry have found their way to my hands, but I need more to complete the puzzle. I warn you not to venture into the tower, however, the warlocks there are much more powerful!

Rewards

Money: 100 gold, 10 silver, 0 copperExperience: 1,350

+100 reputation with Darnassus

When you come back

Have you found any more of their scrolls? I should be able to piece together a larger picture of the cult if you can find them.

When you hand it in

Many thanks, ‹name›. This should shed some light on this warlocks' gathering...

Hmm... the Cult of the Dark Strand... I have never heard of this group before. Having no knowledge of their history, it is all but impossible to say what their plans must be.

There is no more time to delay. Warning must be delivered to Delgren immediately.
