This quest is part of a chain that starts with Tirion Fordring on the bank of the river in the west of the Eastern Plaguelands.
- Redemption
- Of Forgotten Memories
- Of Lost Honor
- Of Love and Family
- Of Love and Family
- Find Myranda

In order to start this quest chain, you will need to have completed the kill quests that Tirion Fordring gives you while he is in the Western Plaguelands, on the road leading out of Hearthglen.
These quests are Blood Tinged Skies, Carrion Grubbage, and Demon Dogs.
The Archivist
Players that are also trying to complete the Of Love and Family quest need to loot the painting before burning the archive. If you do not, you will no longer be able to loot it, as it burns with the room.
This quest must be completed and handed in before Balnazzar will drop his head for The Truth Comes Crashing Down.
The Great Fras Siabi
If you wipe to this boss, you will no longer be able to obtain the tobacco until you reset the dungeon.
Lord Valthalak's Amulet Quests
There are two quests that players can potentially be sent to Stratholme to complete. The Left Piece of Lord Valthalak's Amulet and The Right Piece of Lord Valthalak's Amulet are both possible quests that can be obtained during the process of upgrading the dungeon tier sets.
The questgiver, Bodley, who can be found near Upper Blackrock Spire, will give you a quest to obtain each half of the amulet. There are 4 possible quests that can be given to you each time, with each one sending you to a different dungeon.
The quest that goes to Stratholme requires you to kill Jarien and Sothos, who can be summoned after killing the final boss of the Live wing.
You can only start this extremely long chain of quests after you have obtained the first dungeon set for your class.
The Restless Souls
In order to get this quest, you will first need to complete The Restless Souls, which starts with Caretaker Alen near Light's Hope in the Eastern Plaguelands.
Quests Started Inside Stratholme Live
There are 2 quests that start inside the dungeon for this wing, and they are as follows.
- The Truth Comes Crashing Down (requires Level 55) — take the Head of Balnazzar to Duke Nicholas Zverenhoff at Light's Hope in the Eastern Plaguelands. You will receive this after killing the boss and looting him, but only if you have completed The Archivist and handed it in.
- The Medallion of Faith (requires Level 55) — this quest is started by Aurius, who is found at the start of the Stratholme Undead wing. You will need to retrieve the Medallion of Faith from a chest just behind Malor the Zealous.
Notable Quest Loot from Stratholme Live
None of the quests in this wing reward any good loot directly, but there are many that have good rewards later on in their respective chains.
The final quest in the chain of Of Love and Family awards players with Fordring's Seal, Mark of Fordring, Ornate Adamantium Breastplate, Shimmering Platinum Warhammer, and Shroud of the Exile.
The follow-up quest from The Medallion of Faith rewards Blood of the Martyr and Will of the Martyr.
The quest chain from the Lord Valthalak's Amulet quests will allow players to upgrade multiple dungeon set pieces.
