Nathanos the Blightcaller

Nathanos the Blightcaller

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SI:7 has been investigating the disappearance of Nathanos Marris, the first and the last of the human ranger lords. His fate, it appears, was not a good one. This chain begins with Highlord Bolvar Fordragon in Stormwind Keep, and eventually culminates with a full-on raid in the Eastern Plaguelands.

This final quest requires you to put together an army, return to the Marris Stead and defeat Nathanos the Blightcaller. Nathanos is a 62+ elite protected by 59+ elite dogs, and he summons a flood of skeletons after a few moments of combat, which makes it imperative that you drop him quickly. Complicating matters on PvE servers is the fact that attacking Nathanos flags you for PvP, which means the Horde can interfere with the fight if they happen to be around. Raid groups of 20 or more are common for this quest, making it one of the few non-instanced outdoor raids in World of Warcraft.

With Nathanos slain, return to Highlord Bolvar in Stormwind Keep to collect one of three rewards: the Gorewood Bow (32DPS bow), Stormrager (63DPS wand), or the Sacred Protector (2121 AC shield).
