Black Temple AttunementLevel Prerequesite: 70
Zone: Shadowmoon Valley
Far as I know, this isn't required anymore, but it'll get you some important quests or start you on the way to the Black Temple.The following quest chain needs to be completed for attunement into the Black Temple:
The Aldor pick this quest up at the Altar of the Sha'tar, the Scryers (because we rock) pick it up at the Sanctum of the Stars. Ancorite Ceyla is who you'll find as an
icky Aldor and Scyers speak with Arcanist Thelis. You'll get this quest:
Collect 12 Baa'ri tablet fragments from the ground and Ashtongue workers at the Ruins of Baa'ri. Its a simple quest, but the workers are runners and will aggro the others. Also, drop rate from the workers is -very- small, so your best bet is the glowing green heaps on the ground. Once you get them, return to your respective quest giver to turn in and recieve:

Kill Oronu the Elder and take his Orders from Akama. You'll find him in the same ruins, guarded by two 70 warriors near the northern part of them. Easily solo'd by a 70 hunter, but then again, you have a pet. I think at most, you should be able to make it with the aid of a potion. Get the orders and take those back to your respective faction person to get the quest:

Obtain the fragments of the Medallion of Karabor, held by the Ashtongue Corruptors. You'll need to kill four guys, each surrounded by totems. Take the totems out and they spawn mini elementals who are easy peasy. The quest log tells you where to find each of them. They pretty much cut a line straight down the middle of the map from top to bottom and once you get them done, turn it in for:
[/i][/li][/ul]
Go to the Warden's Cage, and speak with Sanoru, one of the Ashtongue Deathsworn. I wish I had more info as to where to find the Warden's Cage, but I don't. Just remember, don't kill Zandras when you enter, that's you're next quest. And if you can fly or stealth, you can bypass the Dread Warden, so you won't have to kill him. In any event, Sanoru gives you the quest:

Kill the satyr Zandras. He's on the wall right next to Sanoru, but he does have a tendency to wander, so just check the walls, you'll find him. He's got a rediculous respawn rate, so be prepared to wait 15 minutes or so if someone's downed him already. Anyway, once he's dead, you'll get this quest after you turn it in:
[/i][/li][/ul]
Speak to Akama. He is in a portion of the Warden's Cage accessed by a passage under the pool of water at the end of the room. This is the cave like place just by where you turned the last quest in (or so how I understand it). You'll have to swim under stuff to get to him. Talk to Akama and you'll get:
[/i][/li][/ul]
Akama tells you that the pieces of the Medallion of Karabor you found were a mere replica, and he has the real thing. The final piece is missing, but one of his seers, Udalo, knows where it is. Udalo has been captured by Kael'thas and is being held in the Arcatraz. It can't be solo'd because you have to kill boss 2 and 3 to get the door to open for his area, so get yourself a good group. Once you do get those down, (it'll be the room before the Infernals) find his corpse to get this:
[/i][/li][/ul]
Upon finding Udalo, you receive the next quest: Apparently the word "ata'mal" is written on the ground near him. Return to Akama. Kinda easy if you think about it. Akama will give you the quest:
[/i][/li][/ul]
Go to the Ata'mal Terrace - the northern battlement of the Black Temple, crawling with fel orcs - and kill Shadowlord Deathwail and his warlocks. Deathwail has the crystal you need to obtain - the Heart of Fury. Bring it back to Akama. From what I hear, if you're going into this hoping for a boss-like fight, you'll be sadly disappointed. He can be stunned and trapped.
There will be three elites channeling to the Heart of Fury, if you attack them, they don't attack back but non-elites come from huts around and only aggro if they get within aggro range of you. So, ranged DPS can down the three elites and wait until the non-elites despawn. Once that's done, head in to kill the main guy. Be forewarned though, he's got fear, deathcoil and shadowbolt. Once you kill him, return to Akama for:
[/i][/li][/ul]
Akama places the Heart of Fury into the Medallion of Karabor. Take the Medallion to A'dal in Shattrath City; A'dal tells you of a vision, of Akama and Maiev (Illidan's prisoner, "held" by Akama) fighting through the Black Temple with a "shadowy figure" - you. You also receive 11g 40s, 1000 reputation with the Sha'tar and 1000 reputation with the Ashtongue Deathsworn, and a choice of Akama's Sash, Ashtongue Blade, Bloodwarder's Rifle, Verdant Gloves, Spellbreaker's Buckler or Staff of the Ashtongue Deathsworn. Afterwards the quest
The Secret Compromised opens up, involving speaking to Seer Olum in Serpentshrine Cavern. Have fun!
