Did I miss something? When did this "Remind Me" cutscene occur? I swear I've done every quest before Gosts of K'aresh launched and this is less a reminder and more an informing.

Edit: This comment made a lot more sense before they changed Locus-Walkers text from "Review what happened before we got to Tazavesh." to "Show me your vision of the dark heart."

Which still doesn't make sense because he doesn't even mention having had a vision, but at least it's less confusing that before.

Okay I couldn't figure out why my brand new, just dinged 80 alt couldn't pick up this quest despite 6 alts before this going straight into this questline at 80.

I accepted and turned in the campaign quest from Alleria standing right next to locus-walker and A Shadowy Invitation immediately popped up from locus walker. Hope this helps someone.

{name}, I've received word from my mentor, Locus-Walker. He warns of a Shadowguard plot that requires our aid. I wonder if he has finally tracked down Xal'atath. Come to the Foundation Hall in Dornogal. We must speak immediately.

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.
