This will determinate the next Arathi airship captain. Options at Headmaster Fynch:
1. It would be fair to accept Sophietta's report -> Sophietta
2. Once your start making exceptions, the system becomes unfair -> Edwyn
3. You shouldn’t accept late work, but Edwyn shouldn’t benefit. -> Janae

It's kind of mindblowing to me that there are basically no consequences for Edwyn, who is quite obviously morally unfit to be an officer of any description. He got told to clean the skiff for dipping the report in stew and he even pawned that off on his lackeys.

Description

Great work gathering these up. I found a few blowing around up here, so I think we've got all the pages. Let's get this to Headmaster Fynch! He's probably in the classroom. I sure hope he accepts it. He says he doesn't accept late work, but there were a lot of extenuating circumstances at play here. And if he doesn't, I'll be reporting to Edwyn as my captain. I'm not sure I could do that, after what's happened.

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.

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Gone with the WindHallowfall · Level 75-78

    I can't believe Edwyn threw my report out into the wind. Can you please track down what papers you can find? I'll look for any around the school grounds, you check the valley. This report is already late... But I had some really good insights around airship capabilities.
