The Truth Comes Crashing Down

Take the Head of Balnazzar to Duke Nicholas Zverenhoff in the Eastern Plaguelands.
Head of Balnazzar
Provided Item:
Head of Balnazzar

Description

You try and gather your thoughts as the dust settles across the chamber. You go over the events that just transpired and still cannot comprehend the gravity of the situation.

The Grand Crusader of the Scarlet Crusade a demon? And not just any demon but brother to Varimathras, arch lord of the Undercity?

You carefully stow the severed head of the dreadlord into your pack. Surely, none would believe the tale you would tell without proof.

Duke Nicholas Zverenhoff must be told at once!

You have to do the quest where you kill the Archivist first. After turning it in, you go back for this guy and his head will be there to start a quest.

You have to do The Archivist first in a 5 man group (can't do it in a raid), then this item will drop from the boss (even in a raid I've heard).

Next part is to kill the baron in the undead side.

You have to have the Archivist quest completed and handed in before the head will drop.

must u finish The Archivist before his head drop or does it always drop? it'll be crap to 5 man Archivist, run out, sutmit quest and come back to kill Balnazzar. most parties will want to do both in 1 go, that means u have to do it twice.
