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.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • A New ThreatLevel 10-45

    If you seek the Nexus, be wary. There are strange happenings in Coldarra, and it would be best to understand them before proceeding. During my last visit to Dragonblight, I sensed unusual energies from the Azure Dragonshrine.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Eyes of the DragonLevel 10-45

    You should travel at once to Coldarra in Borean Tundra, <name>. There, I would recommend you scout out a few key locations and report back to me. I know the area well, and should be able to tell you how to proceed. Make haste!
