Description

Before the mogu overwhelmed our scouting party, we found relics scattered amongst the ruins to the north. I would like to collect some samples, but the mogu's terracotta watchdogs are too much for us to handle. If you could clear the area of their presence, we will be able to resume our work.

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.

To MogujiaLevel 15-35
Throm-ka, <class>. While we were busy defending our foothold here, Regent Lord Lor'themar Theron led a research expedition north into Kun-Lai Summit. Unfortunately, it seems they have encountered trouble.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

BloodlinesLevel 15-35
We managed to fend off the mogu wardens and their dogs, but many of the blood elves from the scouting party were not as lucky. Many of my people are trapped inside the ruins to the north. We are devising a solution to break them out, but I believe there may be a more straightforward approach.
