You'd best not suggest I ride with you on... whatever that thing is you flew in on.Oh, he did NOT just say that about my Nether Drake. I don't approve, and neither does the drake.

Description
I've a feeling I was able to escape my captors because, frankly, there is nowhere to go. Stranded on these platforms, they are bound to find me sooner or later. Unless... It is said that the heart of an elemental noble can grant whoever holds it the characteristics of that element. Which, in the case of air, would be most useful during a downward trip. Bring me Grand Vizier Ertan's heart so I can use its magic to land safely on the shoreline of Uldum.
Getting there
Inside the dungeon: The Vortex Pinnacle
The Vortex Pinnacle exists within the elemental plane of Skywall. Its elegant structures, crowned with bronze and gold, sit atop platforms bridged by pure air. Yet behind its exterior beauty, the pinnacle harbors Neferset tol'vir, as well as Al'Akir the Windlord's merciless elemental legions.
Bosses in the Adventure Guide, in order: Grand Vizier Ertan, Altairus, Asaad, Caliph of Zephyrs.
Entrance: Uldum at 76.8, 84.6.
Instance text, bosses and entrances are the client’s Adventure Guide data.
