Elessedil and I have been spending a lot of time in the ancient city of Eldre’Thalas. Now known as Dire Maul it holds Queen Azshara’s most prized arcane secrets. On this night we discovered a very rare piece of lore unlike any we had found before; the Foror's Compendium of Dragon Slaying. Only the Lorekeeper Lydros would be able to decipher the entire book because we could make out very little. The shattered seal of the Athenaeum covered its surface and the text inside was barely legible.
Rumors exist of a single, legendary blade of Quel’Serrar crafted for an unknown entity by the combined might of the five Aspects. Over the course of 8,000 years only a handful of these blades were created - each blade unique in both power and appearance. The blades of Quel’Serrar would take on the characteristics of their creator.
The Athenaeum houses the ancient texts of Eldre’Thalas and is tended by the Elves. Lorekeeper Lydros besides upholding the Dewey Decimal System is the Loremaster of the Athenaeum. We entered the silent library through a long tunnel in the North entrance of Dire Maul. The Elves, eternally at work gave us no notice. Elessedil and I approached Lydros who stood near a tall bookshelf filled with thick tomes. He immediately recognized the Foror’s Compendium and without asking began translating the garbled text. Not only did the Loremaster uncover the history hidden in the pages of the book, he also held in his position one of these raw and unfinished ancient blades of Quel'Serrar.
Take the unfired ancient blade to the lair of Onyxia and engage her in battle. Some trickery must be utilized for the heating of the blade. While in combat, she will surely try to incinerate you with her fiery breath. You must plant the unfired ancient blade nearby and hope that the fiery breath heats the blade. If you live beyond this, pick up the now heated ancient blade and finish off the dragon. Plunge the heated ancient blade into her smoldering corpse to fashion the treated ancient blade.
Slaying a dragon, not to mention Onyxia, is no solo task even for a Dwarf. Hogit would need an unbreakable army, he would need Ilterendi.
The Ilterendi guild has a solid reputation on the Silvermoon realm and a few of the guild’s members knew Hogit from Enlightened Exiles. Hogit made his intentions known and the response was a resounding, yes. The following evening Ilterendi would escort Hogit into Onyxia’s domain to heat and temper the Elven blade. Stocked with bandages, major healing potions, and fire protection potions; Hogit met with Ilterendi in the Southern Dustwallow Marsh. Voluptuous pirates and black clothed ninjas led the charge and we engaged with the dragon. As Onyxia’s strength wavered Hogit ran up and planted the blade just in front of the beast. In no time her fiery breath had heated the blade and soon after her corpse lay on the floor. Hogit drove the heated sword deep between the dragon’s scales and the now treated ancient blade was ready.
Riding high on adrenaline Hogit traveled back to Dire Maul. Elessedil met him at the North entrance and they quickly found themselves in the presence of Lorekeeper Lydros. Muttering something unintelligible under his breath the Loremaster took the blade and fashioned the sword Quel'Serrar. Ancient runes glitter across the surface of the blade which glows with a green wyrm like presence; perhaps a residual effect from the dragon Onyxia herself. The beautiful blade of Quel'Serrar is a major milestone in Hogit’s history, thank you again Ilterendi!

Congrats Hogit!!
Was a shame that I was not around to witness this event, as my account is on hold until my resolve crumbles and I come back to Silvermoon. I hope you enjoy this new sword, and may it serve you well.

I think you forgot to mention how I scared the trees away and shielded you so you could get your dwarven paws on the tomb
Congratulations on getting your sword, just in time for your birthday too

Yeah, this 5 instance limit is not going to be fun. I’m hoping they raise it later, because they havent confirmed 5, they might just be testing that number this weekend.
