Description
Their red eyes... flaming beards... dark, dusky skin. These can only be Dark Iron dwarves. I have never seen one before this day. It is my understanding that they have been sent here on an errand for the Alliance. Given my people's allegiance, I believe we are now placed in a position to better demonstrate our loyalty to the Horde. The Dark Iron must die. See that they do not claim so much as an inch more of this beach.

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.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- A Nose for Magic
I have it! The readings from the ruins are unmistakable. Somewhere to the south and west of the ah... "foot", as it were, is a source of great magical energy. It can be nothing but the Eye of Xibala! We will need to place a few more scrying vessels to pinpoint the Eye's exact location.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Grand Theft Telemancy
They must not keep the Eye, <name>. Fortunately I am more than an archaeologist. I am a telemancer. Chief Telemancer Oculeth himself trained the woman who trained my master. I can retrieve the relic with these arts. All you need to do is place a telemancy beacon near the Eye.
