Thros, the Blighted Lands (quest)

Find Jaina in Thros, the Blighted Lands.

• Jaina freed

The Blighted Lands...

If the legends are true then inside we will witness suffering and torment the likes of which we have never known...

...but if that is what I must endure to right what I have wronged, then I will cross that threshold gladly.

Will you join me, ?

You will receive:

• Radiant Azerite Core (750x Azerite)
• 22,310 XP

I'm with you, champion.

Words cannot express the debt I owe you for helping return my daughter to me, but unfortunately the traitor Ashvane has left us no time for celebration.

We must act.
