The Light of Dawn (quest)

Last wiki revision 2021-11-10

The Light of Dawn came after the Battle for Light's Hope Chapel, the final battle for a death knight in service of the Lich King...

Defeat the forces of the Argent Dawn and uncover the Light of Dawn.

Return to should you survive.

  • The Light of Dawn Uncovered

The Argent Dawn stands defiantly against us at Light's Hope Chapel. They dare oppose the Scourge and for that reason alone they must be destroyed!

The mighty armies of the stand at the ready as the final battle for the Plaguelands approaches. Today we ascend into the immortal realm of Scourge heroes!

Are you prepared, death knight?

You will also learn: Death Gate

You will also receive: and 6 Bonus talents

<Highlord Mograine nods.>

There will be no atonement for us,. We are forever damned to walk the earth as monsters. While the Lich King may have loosed his grip upon us, the specters of the past will forever haunt our memories.

We must make amends in the only way we know how: Death...

I ask you now to join me in Acherus as a Knight of the Ebon Blade. Together we will destroy the Lich King and end the Scourge.

This is what essentially amounts to a death knight Battle of Thermopylae. 300 defenders of the Light, led by the Argent Dawn leaders Duke and Lord, face off against ten thousand Scourge, led by Highlord Mograine and the player (or players, if there is a group on the same quest).

At the start of the battle, death knights receive a buff called The Might of Mograine, which increases their damage, health and health regeneration - allowing them to combat the defenders of the Light (who are all elites).

Before you do this quest you might want to drop off any Crusader's skulls to get what Noth's Special Brew you can from the plague cauldron to complete your stack of 20. After this, you can't do it, and the potion is one of the very few items that restores runic power.

  • Here is where I sacrificed everything to free my father. Now I come to destroy it...

During the battle, Mograine shout orders, and interact in the battle. Koltira Deathweaver flanks Darion's left, while Thassarian flanks his right, and Orbaz Bloodbane brings up the immediate rear. The event lasts for approximately ten minutes. Once you start the event, a five minute timer will count down until the battle begins.

Note: The second quote made by Maxwell Tyrosus only existed in the PTR, and does not trigger on the live servers. However, the voice work done for the quest is still present in the game.
