Description

You will forgive the lack of pleasantries, as this situation requires prompt remediation.

All you need know is that I am Aradis, wardsmith of Silvermoon. We are an order of Magisters who maintain the city's defenses.

I am recovering from a... minor battle injury, and require aid charging my wardbreaker staff. You will be compensated, and perhaps provided additional opportunities to aid me.

I can furnish the details as you work, so long as you are not terribly slow.

The Arcane Reservoirs are posted at the entrance to the room just inside and on the sides of the red drape. If you don't see them, go out and come back in.

After the third ward he said to my mage:
Magister Aradis says: Are you certain you're a mage? Your form is terrible. Do not move while it is siphoning. You will warp the aetheric flow.
Which, considering the everything around him has me doubting HIS providence but whatever. I'm just here for the reputation.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

Gold is GoldEversong Woods · Level 80-83
Hey! You there. <Sarvi beckons you closer and lowers her voice.> You looking for work? A Magister gave me five gold to find an adventuring type to do some sort of job for him. He said if the person gets it done, I get five more. That'll feed me for months. You fit the bill.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

Unraveling WardsEversong Woods · Level 80-83
Dawnblaze is keeping the blackmail documents in her study. It is highly warded, naturally. The wards themselves are pitifully made. However, she is supplying additional power to them using arcane conduits placed throughout the city. I found the first link in the chain and brought it here to study.
