Description

{name}, we must seek out a powerful weapon to combat the naga who guard the Tidal Conflux. I am certain such an object would be in the hands of one of Azshara's minions. Thanks to our new allies, we've tracked down the location of one of her handmaidens within the ruins of Zin-Azshari. The journey will be quite dangerous. Thankfully our allies have a location nearby that we can use as a staging ground. I've marked the location on your map, meet with me there as soon as you can.

Where to go

Pins are the quest’s own POI points from the current retail client, projected onto the in-game zone map. The game marks one blob as the quest’s turn-in; the rest are objective areas. Points that fall outside a map’s window are dropped rather than guessed at.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Utama's VengeanceNazjatar · Level 50

    We Ankoan are a small tribe. There are not that many of us remaining. This place was once overrun with makrura, before Utama. They tried to hide here, from the naga, but found the makrura. They fell, in battle, to the Kil'karrok.
