I've just started playing Villagers and Heroes. Showing 1-4 of 4 comments. Apr 23, 2014 @ 6:49pm. Is a rather convoluted one, but is very well rounded and suitable for any occassion. I have Shadow orbs, Wisdom, Zealotry all maxed with almost max hp & spirit and a point each in shadow and healing mastery.However, I have to. Rumors of the Rye. Rumors of the Rye is a Quest in Villagers & Heroes. Egil, the ferryman, can’t take me to the Crux because Queen Zoria and her Socorro destroyed his ferry. Apparently, all of the Crux is in a uproar because a villain named Lysander murdered the two royal Socorro princes, and stole Queen Zoria’s Orb of Tanzine.

Objectives

Retrieve an Orb of Dominion from the Den of Secrets in Shadowmoon Valley.

• Locate the Den of Secrets^{[54.7, 14.9]}
• [Orb of Dominion]^{[49.3, 76.4]} / ^{[56.3, 18.5]}

Description

Gul'dan and his Shadow Council have their hooks embedded deep into Garona's soul. We've tried traditional magical methods and they haven't helped her. It's time to get unorthodox.

<Khadgar cracks his knuckles, his eyes flashing with a disturbing eagerness.>

I've just learned of a Shadow Council holdout hidden beneath the Draenei city of Elodor. They are using an Orb of Dominion to brainwash spies. Quickly! Assault the cave and recover the orb for me. We will turn this dark magic to our advantage.

Rewards

You will receive: 30 80

• 18840 XP

Progress

<Khadgar's fingers glow in anticipation.>

The orb! Did you find it?

Completion

Hand it here - gently now - ah, do you feel it? Makes my skin crawl. It's watching us, <name>.

I have invited the Shadow Council into my house. Let's get this over with before this thing can cause any mischief.

Notes

Leaving the Tower, Cordana says the following:

Cordana Felsong says: Watch yourself, champion. The Shadow Council will prey on your doubts and weaknesses.

Take a flight path to Elodor (for Alliance characters) or Exile's Rise (for Horde characters). The mouth of the Den of Secrets is located at ^{[54.7, 14.9]} at the northeast end of the Umbrafen, not far from Ba'ruun. After getting close, a Dark Enforcer tries to scare the adventurer off with a threat:

Dark Enforcer says: Turn around, <class>. You'll find nothing but suffering in here.

Not one to heed threats, the player auto-accepts the quest [100] The Shadow War, which calls for the death of 15 Shadow Council members in the cave. Enter the cave and take the south fork to reach the main room of the Den of Secrets, where Dentarg is using the Orb of Dominion to attempt to mind-control three draenei villagers of Elodor.

Dentarg says: Give yourselves to the shadow. None can resist the master.

Aggro Dentarg:

Dentarg says: Graaah, and who do YOU think you are?

Dentarg says: All must serve or DIE.

Dentarg says: You will not leave this cave alive!

Finish Dentarg off and loot the orb. Don't forget to kill enough Shadow Council orcs to hit the quota before leaving.

Upon return:

Restore the ruined temples in an ancient tournament of divine puzzles! Ancient quest of saqqarah game. Take part in the Ancient Quest of Saqqarah and descend deep below the sands to the magical underground oasis filled with puzzles, treasures and mysteries! In order to succeed the chosen one will have to master 7 different types of puzzles as well as exciting mini-games spread over half a thousand hand crafted levels. It's up to you to fulfill an ancient Egyptian prophecy and stop evil god Seth from breaking out of his arcane tomb prison.

Cordana Felsong says: I can feel the dark energies surrounding you. What IS that thing?
