Preservation of Honor

The final guardian mentioned in the Directive is Korendis Tharalan, the keeper of the Thorn of Tethlis. The Thorn of Tethlis is a sharp Ithilmar sword which was borne by the king during a well-planned offensive against Malekith's forces. This offensive began with a cunning plan, drawing the enemy into a carefully-laid trap that would ultimately crush them. When the moment to strike came, it was with this sword that Tethlis signaled for the trap to be sprung, leading to the unrelenting slaughter of thousands of Dark Elves. The memory of such a stunning defeat must sting Malekith's pride, even unto this day. The Thorn must not be allowed to fall into his hands!

Shadecaller's Directive tells of the location of the nearest guardian, Korendis Tharalan. Defeat the Executioner, and recover the Thorn of Tethlis from his corpse. When complete, return to Serileia Avalan with all the artifacts.
