If you want the Sojourner of K’aresh achievement in WoW: The War Within, you’ll need to start and finish the Priest of the Old Ways quest storyline. This is one of the 11 optional storylines required for the achievement. Aside from being optional, though, it is also pretty easy to miss! Mainly because its starting point has no marker at all on the map, at least as of this writing. Read on, though, and we’ll tell you how to start this quest!
How to Start Priest of the Old Ways Storyline [Sojourner of K’aresh] | WoW: The War Within

You can start the “Priest of the Old Ways” storyline by talking to Outcast Hizfran. He’s a hidden NPC found on the easternmost edge of the K’aresh region, somewhere between The Oasis and North Sufaad areas. To make him easier to find than the rough location shown above, his exact coordinates are 77.8, 39.2.

Once you find Outcast Hizfran, just talk to him and accept the “An Outcast’s Request” quest from him. This is the first quest in the storyline, so accepting it will officially set you on the path to completing the entire “Priest of the Old Ways” storyline. The quests are also fairly straightforward, thankfully, just follow the instructions from Hizfran.
Just in case, here’s the full quest order for the full storyline:
- An Outcast’s Request
- The Blood of K’aresh
- Cleansing the Void
- Priest of the Old Ways
Complete all 4 of these quests and you’re all done! That’s how to start and finish the “Priests of the Old Ways” quest storyline required for the Sojourner of K’aresh character achievement in WoW: The War Within 11.2.
