Zardeth of the Black Claw is a human quest giver located in the Slaughtered Lamb within the Mage Quarter of Stormwind City.

As Lord Baurles K. Wishock was made aware of the warlocks' establishment, he was lobbying for a full investigation on them. Zardeth had a plan to keep him "preoccupied". He asked an Alliance adventurer to gather a flower growing in the garden of Stalvan on the outskirts of Darkshire, called the Tear of Tilloa, as well as a Musquash Root found at the base of the falls far beneath the Stonewrought Dam in the Wetlands.^[1] When Zardeth received the samples, he created a special brew for him, Black Claw Stout, and had it delivered to him, as he knew that Wishock liked liquor. Soon after drinking it, Wishock died.^[2]
