Vile Familiars

In the arid valley of the Valley of Trials, the warlock trainer Ruzan tasks aspiring practitioners of the dark arts with proving their mettle against vile familiars. To earn the knowledge of demon summoning, initiates must face these impish creatures in combat and claim their severed heads. It marks the humble, dangerous first step toward mastering fel power under the watchful eyes of the Horde.

Quest text

Male narrator 0:25 Female narrator 0:26

Those warlocks who came before us have earned the distrust of the Horde, and while we are tolerated, we are not loved.

This has not brought the warlocks closer together, however, as many choose to live reclusively, dabbling in their magics alone. I will not seek to lead you down one path or the other, but only help you in your maturation.

Before I teach you the art of summoning, bring me six heads of the vile familiars from the cave to the northeast.

Progress

Male narrator 0:12 Female narrator 0:14

It is important that you can control the beings that you summon through your magic. There are few enough interested in learning the ways of the adventurer that I would risk throwing your life away by teaching you something before you are ready.

Completion

Show the words

Throughout your training as an adventurer, you will learn to call forth beings of many sorts. Some may not seem it, but all are useful tools.

Do not be fooled by the imp's small size. As you no doubt noticed, it is still a formidable adversary.
