TheWoWDBA nightborne's first sighting of a dwarf and he thinks they are called "beardlings." Absolutely fantastic. Love it!

Description
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. Meet me deeper in the ruins. I will personally oversee this effort.

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.
- Archaeological Efficiency
Miss Tae'shara and I share a passion for uncovering hidden secrets and a deep, abiding respect for this ancient land. That said! If we were to continue at the pace to which she is accustomed, the Alliance would overtake us before we could make a single discovery. It is time to expedite our survey.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- A Dark (Iron) Tide
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.
