<Race>. Have you been sent to speak with me? How long has it been since the master's demise on these very slopes?

Yes, Blackhorn. I've been sent to request your aid, if you are willing.

My help? Have things really grown so dire?

<The distant flames flicker in Blackhorn's cruel, dark eyes.>

Tell me why I shouldn't let your world burn.

You were a mortal once, Blackhorn. One of us. Mortal? Yes I was once mortal. Weak.

You see my bonds now? These restraints are nothing compared to being shackled within a mortal coil.

Even now the master's gifts stir within me, ready to be unleashed.

No, <class>, my mortal days have passed, and if any flame of my former life still flickers within I would wish it extinguished. You'll have to do better than that, <race>.

You'll be destroyed if the Twilight's Hammer brings this mountain down!

Destroyed? Yes, that's possible. At night I am haunted with visions of this would being torn asunder from within. I feel neither sorrow nor rage. Merely... curiosity.

I served my master in exchange for power, <class>. But those you fight... they strive for oblivion. A strange motivation.

Will you help us to defeat them?

Madness. Chaos. Much as I thrill to see the titans' work undone, I do wish to remain alive when the master returns. I will help you.

Where is your master now, Blackhorn? It's not too late to turn to the light...

<Blackhorn strains against his bonds, for the first time visibly upset.>

Redemption! You act as if there's an escape from the Burning Legion. So smug! As though your efforts a decade ago or in Outland have slowed the Legion a single iota! They will come, <race>. They will return. And I will be here to welcome them.

Assuming there's a world left for your legion to conquer. The Twilight's Hammer seeks to destroy everything.

Matoclaw believes that you may yet be redeemed. This is your chance to atone for siding with demons.<Blackhorn strains against his bonds, for the first time visibly upset.>

If You're Not Against Us...

Speak with Tyrus Blackhorn and convince him to help in the fight against the Twilight's Hammer.

	Blackhorn Persuaded (1)

Description

South of here you'll find a solitary tower, known as "Blackhorn's Penance." Upon it is bound a demon: Tyrus Blackhorn.

You may think me mad for turning to an old foe for help, but Blackhorn was once a mortal, and I can't imagine he wants to watch Twilight's Hammer triumph.

Speak with Blackhorn, and see if you can convince him to help us in our fight. He may yet redeem himself.

...Just don't set him free!
