==Description==
That text lists someone named Daio as being instrumental to the demonic ritual. They can't possibly mean Daio the Decrepit!
I never knew he was Kirin Tor. I only know him as an elderly warlock who trains young recruits in the infernal arts. This would certainly explain his change of occupation.
He most likely holds key information for this to work. Though retired, I believe he is still out in the Tainted Scar in the Blasted Lands. You should seek him out.
==Rewards==
You will receive:
*
*15,050 XP
==Progress==
Well, what did Daio have to say?
==Completion==
Our order suffered a great loss that day. It is a shame we chose to hide it instead of study it.
You have another critical element to the ritual, and we are one step closer.
==Notes==
To reach the Tainted Scar, take the portal to Krasus' Landing from the Hall of the Guardian, then take the Karazhan portal from the Portrait Room in the center of Dalaran. Once at Karazhan, fly due south until you reach a demonic altar in the northern part of the Tainted Scar and speak with Daio.
:You are certainly a long way from home, <race>.

:Ah, that ritual. The one where Arrexis was dragged screaming into the Nether and his entire cadre of mages were slaughtered. The ritual that caused me to give up the arcane and begin my personal quest to understand demons and their fel energies.
:Balaadur is extremely dangerous and you seem... young. Are you sure you are prepared?
:
:Balaadur and his minions have slain many mages over the years, they have perfected their craft. Before I help you with the ritual I will need to see your ability for myself. If you can face what I summon, I will give you the aid you require.
:Are you prepared to face demons?

:
Daio summons a pack of seven Fiendish Tricksters. Use AoE spells to take them down quickly.

Daio summons an Eredar Mage. Avoid standing in its "Fel Flamestrike" ability.
:
:
Daio places a Demon Stone in your inventory.

If you haven't done so already, head to the Abandoned Kirin Tor Camp west of Karazhan for The Deadwind Site. Otherwise, use Teleport: Hall of the Guardian to return to Meryl.
