Description

We will need to press deeper into Vashj'ir if we want to uncover what the naga are doing here. Go to the Lightless Reaches, the giant chasm bordering the Kelp'thar Forest to the west. If you look across it, you should see a cluster of plant-life surrounding the entrance to Damplight Chamber. Once you're inside the cave, it's a bit of a ride up until you break surface, but I have friends there that should provide you a warm welcome.
