Description

I'm convinced that YOU are the herald of Aviana, {name}. It was you who first saw her and rescued her essence from the claws of a dragon. Yes, I believe Aviana is to be reborn into our world. And you shall have the honor of ushering her over the threshold. Take this incense and burn it before Aviana's egg in the room just above me. The ancient awaits, {name}. Our deliverance is here!

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Return to the ShrineMount Hyjal · Level 30-35

    Aviana's Egg should have arrived safely back at the Shrine. You should go check on it! Choluna should know how to handle this. I'll finish the last of our business here and catch up with you later.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • The Hatchery Must BurnMount Hyjal · Level 30-35

    <name>! Choluna spoke true: the goddess has returned! A miracle in our midst. While you were able to kill the twilight dragon Sethria, we have not yet located all of the eggs that the harpies had delivered to her. Thisalee and I have tracked them to a great hatchery constructed within the Firelands.
