Description
I believe your guide was delivering a warning. The unrest within the spirit realm may be even more dire than first feared. We must cross over at once, from a place with a strong bond to the spirit realm. In ages past, tauren made pilgrimages to Sun Rock Retreat to engage in such a ritual. It is said that long ago, An'she himself kissed the mountain where the retreat now stands. Meet me there and we will begin the crossing.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Spirit Guide
The ancestors have whispered your name, <name>. Now it is time for you to reach out to them. Here in this sacred place, we spiritwalkers commune with those who came before us. Sit within the circle and light the incense. If you open your heart, a spirit guide will present itself to you.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Crossing Over
We are ready to begin. You will be crossing into the spirit realm. Take caution, for it can be a place of both tranquility and danger. Make contact with your spirit guide. There must be a reason it was in pain when it revealed itself to you.
