Quest text

What the quest giver says.

‹name›, ‹class› and ‹race› stand for your character’s.

Crimson energy swirls within this disturbing object, which seems to have slightly different contours each time your gaze returns to it. Its power is utterly foreign, unlike anything you have seen in Draenor or during your battles with the Legion. Perhaps the keepers of Moonglade, back on Azeroth, might have some insight into its nature.
