Description
The Dragonscale Expedition does not pose a threat to Sarkareth. The fact that Sarkareth and his followers would be so brazen as to attack them during their research... <Ebyssian furrows his brow.> Save as many Expedition members as you can. The knowledge in these ruins is priceless if it can unlock the secrets of our past, but it is ultimately worthless when weighed against the value of single innocent life. I will meet you in the ruins above when I am done here.

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.
