Eluvi’tor the Dawn Waker Secret Guide

Welcome to a new guide to an ongoing secret in World of Warcraft: Forever. The secret revolves around restoring Eluvi'tor the Dawn Waker, a lost blade crafted by Luminarian.

Please note that the final reward of this secret hasn't been discovered or confirmed yet. The guide will be updated regularly as members of the secret finding community uncover new information.

Ancient Heirloom Ring

Head to Thendal Village on Zephras Isle. Horde players can get there by taking the boat in Mulgore, while Alliance players can take the boat in Dalaran.

Speak with Ailee Farheart and take the quest Coming of Age, then deliver it to Rorian the Dayseeker to receive the Ancient Heirloom ring.

/way #2521 42.8 23.4 Ailee Farheart

If you have deleted the ring or cannot take the Skyborne quest (because you don't own the Skyborne Heroic Pack), you can obtain the Ancient Heirloom ring on the top floor of the treehouse in Thendal Village.

/way #2521 41.7 23.4 Ancient Heirloom Ring

Travel to the Ruins of Ban'aethal and use your Night Watchman's Torch to reveal the Ancient Hilt. If you don't have the item, check our Night Watchman's Torch Guide or ask a friend with the torch to light up the area.

Night Watchman's Torch Guide

Accept the quest The Ancient Hilt and turn it in to Ealaane Nimbuswalker.

/way #2521 66.0 74.3 Ealaane Nimbuswalker

Ealaane hints that Zephras Isle may be hiding more special weapons. Search the island until you find an Ancient Sword that contains the Ancient Skyborne Blade. Deliver the blade to Ealaane to learn more about it and she will give you Eluvi'ana.

Note that the Ancient Sword can appear in multiple locations around the island, so bring some friends and prepare to do some searching. Here are the confirmed spawn points:

Befouled Water Globe

Obtaining the Befouled Water Globe is different for Horde and Alliance characters.

Horde

Defeat Baron Aquanis in the Blackfathom Deeps dungeon and loot the Strange Water Globe.

Bring the Strange Water Globe to Je'neu Sancrea at Zoram'gar Outpost in Ashenvale, then speak with him to obtain the Befouled Water Globe.

/way #1440 11.6 34.2 Je'neu Sancrea

Alliance

Defeat Stormscale Myrmidon, Stormscale Sorceress, Stormscale Warrior and Stormscale Beastmistress in Darkshore to obtain 20 Mathystral Amulet Fragment, then combine them into the Mathystral Amulet.

Use the amulet to defeat Baron Marinous and loot the Clouded Water Globe.

/way #1439 59.1 22.8 Baron Marinous

Bring the Clouded Water Globe to Onu at the Grove of the Ancients in Darkshore, then speak with him to obtain the Befouled Water Globe.

/way #1439 43.6 76.4 Onu

Narassin's Tome

While you have the Ancient Heirloom ring equipped and the Befouled Water Globe in your bags, you can speak with the Highborne Spirit to learn more about the orb. The Highborne Spirit explains that it must be purified before it can be used to restore the Dawn Waker and points you toward Athrikus Narassin and his tome.

With the Befouled Water Globe in your bags, head to the Tower of Althalaxx in Darkshore and defeat Athrikus Narassin to obtain the Azsharan Key. Use it to open the lockbox right behind him and get Narassin's Tome.

/way #1439 56.0 26.3 Athrikus Narassin (at the top of the tower)

Mordent Evenshade

Note that the following steps are optional and are listed here for info purposes. You can skip speaking with the Highborne Spirit and Mordent Evenshade.

If you return to the Highborne Spirit with the tome, he will suggest seeking out a member of the Shen'dralar with sufficient arcane knowledge to assist you further. If you speak with Mordent Evenshade in Shen'dralas, he will mention that three items are required to restore Eluvi'tor:

/way #2652 35.0 46.4 Mordent Evenshade

Star of Elune

Five players are required for this step.

Equip the Ancient Heirloom ring and head to the Ruins of Isildien in Feralas. In the middle of the temple you will find the Shen'dralar Vault, which can be seen only if the ring is equipped.

/way #1444 58.5 71.6 Shen'dralar Vault

The vault is locked and opens when four Ancient Switches around the temple are flipped at the same time (within 10 seconds). The switches are visible only if the Ancient Heirloom ring is equipped. Assign one player to each switch and keep one at the vault.

Once all four switches have been flipped, the player next to the vault can loot it to receive the Star of Elune. Rotate party members until everyone has looted the vault.

/way #1444 58.5 71.0 Ancient Switch (on the top floor)
/way #1444 57.3 71.8 Ancient Switch
/way #1444 59.7 72.0 Ancient Switch
/way #1444 61.0 73.7 Ancient Switch

Abyssal Mote

To obtain the Abyssal Mote, you must first complete a storyline that starts with the quest Kirith and ends with the quest Azsharite.

Once the storyline is complete, dive into the waters of Azshara and find the Abyssal Chest.

/way #1447 66.0 54.1 Abyssal Chest (underwater)

Tears of Anguish

Tears of Anguish drops from Anguished Highborne and Suffering Highborne in Winterspring.

/way #1452 54.0 42.0 Highborne

Shrine of Coalescence

Once you have all the required reagents for the ritual, Mordent Evenshade tells you to go to a place where arcane magic is at its strongest, as it offers the best chance of finding enough energy to cleanse the globe.

Travel to Mount Hyjal and use the Befouled Water Globe at the Shrine of Coalescence to purify it into the Cleansed Water Globe.

/way #2482 72.7 37.2 Shrine of Coalescence

Prince Tortheldrin

If you return with the Cleansed Water Globe to Mordent Evenshade in Shen'dralas, he will tell you that the tome points toward Prince Tortheldrin, who was in contact with Athrikus Narassin. It's not entirely good news, as Mordent considers Tortheldrin a traitor.

Enter the Capital Gardens (the west wing of Dire Maul) and head to Prince Tortheldrin. If you ask him about Eluvi'ana and Eluvi'tor, he will lash out at you for knowing about them and refuse to say more until you have earned honored standing with the Shen'dralar. This is done by turning in librams, including the new Libram of Binding in World of Warcraft: Forever.

While the rest of the steps are still unknown, you can join the hunt with the secret finding community and check the pins. If you're only level 20-30, don't worry, there's no rush in Forever. Even we (the guide authors) aren't high enough level yet to get into Dire Maul to take screenshots of Prince Tortheldrin's dialogue and start farming reputation.
