Description

We are only alive thanks to the ankoan and Azshara's desire to toy with us. We will learn more of Okani's people in the times ahead, I am sure. For now, we must establish a portal home. While Azshara is blocking our traditional methods of magical travel, I can sense a powerful convergence of energies nearby. I believe we can use it to open a way home.

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.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Where the Road LeadsNazjatar · Level 50

    My people know many secrets about this place. If you prove yourselves worthy allies, you will be privy to them. First, we must regroup in Mezzamere. There, we at least have a foothold against the tide.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Scouting the PalaceNazjatar · Level 50

    We cannot hide here forever, <name>. Azshara must be dealt with. It would be an act of folly to assault her palace without knowing what defenses she has in place. I dispatched a scouting team while you were gone, but they have not reported back. I'm getting concerned, <name>.
