Call of the Primus

Call of the Primus begins the Zereth Mortis campaign—the patch 9.2 portion of the Shadowlands campaign—and is automatically pushed upon login to all player characters who have completed at least the first three chapters of the Chains of Domination campaign.

Speak with Tal-Inara in Oribos to travel to the Arbiter's Chamber.

• Speak with Tal-Inara to travel to the Arbiter's Chamber

Though we fought to stop the Jailer in the Sanctum of Domination, we failed. He enveloped Oribos in the Maw, struck down the Arbiter, and opened the way to Zereth Mortis.

The time has come to follow him.

Within the Arbiter's Chamber, we will forge our own path.

Hurry, Maw Walker. The fate of the Shadowlands, and all the realms beyond, is at stake.

You will receive:

• 1,000 XP

There is but one final sigil needed to pursue Zovaal.

On accept:

• say

Speak with Tal-Inara at her usual spot in the Enclave:

• The Primus awaits us in the Arbiter's Chamber.
• Shall we depart?

In the Crucible, the Primus is waiting in front of a small crowd consisting of Tal-Inara, Overseer Kah-Delen, Overseer Kah-Sher, and various covenant representatives: Lady Moonberry and Lord Herne for the night fae, Pelagos and Kleia for the kyrian, Prince Renathal and Nadjia the Mistblade for the venthyr, and Baroness Vashj for the necrolords. Tal-Inara, Kleia, and Pelagos have special gossip text.

• Tal-Inara
• Never before have we been tested as such. However, I trust in the Purpose.

• Kleia
• We cannot lose hope, even in the darkest moments. That is when we need it the most.

• Pelagos
• All we can do is keep moving forward.

An Attendant Functionary offers transport back down if needed:

• When you are ready, I can return you to return [sic] to the enclave [sic].

If the player decides to jump off the platform for some reason, they'll resurrect at the normal Oribos graveyard and have to speak with Tal-Inara to get back to the Crucible.

Upon turning in to the Primus, a cutscene plays:

• say
• Tal-Inara floats forward.
• say
• Kah-Sher and Kah-Delen float up next to her.
• say
• say
• The Primus summons the four covenant sigils on the surrounding pillars: night fae, kyrian, necrolord, and venthyr. He then steps to the side and allows the attendants to take the center stage.
• say
• A large, dormant gateway descends closer to the central platform. The attendants and the Primus begin casting a spell. A shadowy image of the Arbiter briefly appears behind the attendants as they manifest the Arbiter's sigil in the air.
• say
• A glowing portal opens at the center of the gateway.

On the other side of the cutscene, in addition to the portal now being open, an Anima Wyrm has joined the crowd.
