Bit disappointed with the questline. All we get at the end is some azerite? A toy would have been perfect here. Optional yet cool.
Literally the worst quest line in BFA so far. So absolutely tedious and stupid. Sends you to the same caves, over, and over, and over, and over again while also placing things you need to take care of in 3 of the 5 caves without telling you directly which ones. Just... awful. *Oh yeah, did I mention it was bugged and you have to die every single quest to pick up the next one?
Edit: *So it was time gated, that makes sense I guess. Assumed it was bugged from people saying they died and were able to pick up the next part. Still doesn't change how horrible this quest line is.

Description
We stand on the brink, you and I. The final act looms over us, casting a terrible shadow. Deep we plumbed, seeking knowledge of the world. Deeper still we delved, until our fate was inevitable. Minds were shattered, my comrades ran screaming into the night. We are all lost, to that terrible Thing... Now, the malformed syzygy beckons. Complete the ritual and bring about the end.

Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Malign Inspiration
A long time ago, there was a maiden. A precocious child fond of song, she made it her hobby to shadow my every move. Charming at first. Walking on the pier's edge, she became entangled within the ropes surrounding a leering idol.
