Description
I wish to taste the searing flames of the mountain of fire. To let the molten fires of Blackrock cascade across my being. That essence, that searing heat, it is what I crave.
Bael'Gar resides in the Depths of Blackrock: A being of pure flame, born of the fires of Ragnaros. Slay Bael'Gar and from his smoldering remains bring for me a piece of his inner fire.
Use the molt on his remains to safely extract the inner flame.
Succeed and be rewarded.

<Cyrus snatches the fiery essence from your hands.>

Take your prize and be gone. Leave my sight at once!
