Where this quest fits
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Crystal Eyes
I've delved into the caves here and have discovered many ancient writings. The most interesting I've found are resonating crystals, where the drogbar have resided. Unfortunately, they aren't on very good terms with the tauren here and this has hindered my research.
