Quest text

What the quest giver says.

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

We need to retrieve the Abyssal Scepter and get out of here before the Kul Tirans break our line in Plunder Harbor. I did some research while you were gone. I believe I uncovered the location where the ritual must take place. When you are ready to go, we can make our way over.
