Description

Since the beginning, a shaman has been called to serve the Throne of Elements as its keeper. It is a lifelong calling and a new keeper is only called after the last has passed on.

Gar'rok has been our loyal keeper for many years, cleansing the Elemental Plateau during countless cycles of rebirth.

Our keeper is dying, and soon another will be called in his place. When he passes, he should not be alone. Go to him, <name>.

Ease his pain.

Where to go

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Elemental AttunementNagrand · Level 35-40

    Even now, as we speak, the voice of Kalandrios continues to whisper to my mind. "The Hero of Azeroth must attune to the elements of the plateau." Upon the Elemental Plateau are four great pillars carved of living rock.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • A Rare BloomNagrand · Level 35-40

    Many years ago I had a life-mate, Dahaka. We were only bound a short time before she was taken from me. I have lived long, but I have never known greater pain than that day. I was young and my grief was great; the earth quaked beneath my rage. I laid her to rest upon this cliff.
