The Corrupter

Bring the Flayed Demon Skin to Maurin Bonesplitter in Desolace.
Flayed Demon Skin
Provided Item:
Flayed Demon Skin

Description

The torn skin smells rotten, and is remarkably pliable for something that appears to be dry and fragile.

As you unroll it, you can clearly see the red markings of some kind of language on one side. At the bottom of the skin is a very clear symbol that you guess is a signature of some kind.

Perhaps it is something Maurin could tell you more about?

Progress

The Burning Blade begin to realize how weak they truly are. Their magics are pathetic, their strength feeble.

Their only power comes from those they serve, and not from any understanding of true power and knowledge.

Completion

Hmm, these runes are indeed a language, <name>, an old language. They seem remotely similar to the Eredun language, but the differences are drastic. If I am not mistaken, this is a contract of some kind.... Here, yes, this symbol is the demon's signature: Lord Azrethoc.

Gains

Upon completion of quests, get:
  • 130 experience (7 80 at max. level)
  • 75 Reputation with Undercity

As the item states, this quest requires Horde - Neutral and is as such not available for Alliance. Orb of Deception won't work.

This item has a very low drop rate (around 1,5-2%) and is dropped by all Burning Blade mobs around Thunder Axe Fortress (~54,26, upper middle part of the map) in Desolace.
There is no prequest and you do not need to be on any specific quest for the item to drop.
The quest is combinable with:
- [38] Hand of Iruxos, https://vanillawowdb.com/?quest=5381 https://vanillawowdb.com/?quest=5381 (kill a summoned 37 Elite)
- [33] Sceptre of Light, https://vanillawowdb.com/?quest=5741 https://vanillawowdb.com/?quest=5741 (get an item from a Seer in a tower)
- [33] The Burning of Spirits (followup), https://vanillawowdb.com/?quest=1435 https://vanillawowdb.com/?quest=1435 (drain souls of any Burning Blade)

The quest has three followups. The two first ones are easy. The last one, [40] The Corrupter (https://vanillawowdb.com/?quest=1488 https://vanillawowdb.com/?quest=1488), requires you to kill a 40 Elite and a normal 40 mob.

1450xp as of 2.3 It's a random drop from any of the burning blade mob in or near Thunder Axe forteress. For me, i was not even aware of that quest, was doing Hand of Lruxos when one of the mod drops it.

This quest is an absolute must for anyone who is after Undercity reputation, each part of this quest gave 250 Undercity reputation and its easy to do which is a bonus.

(Edited a little punctuation.)

I'm Horde, Undead, this took me about 15 kills to drop so it's not nearly as bad as what is being represented.
