Description

Well, there's two factors at play here, eh? We should do our due diligence and figure out who this was a statue of. But between you and me? I'm much more interested in learning about the jokesters that turned it into this work of art. I'm sure there's a historian of the black dragonflight somewhere near Aberrus. And why don't you poke around Loamm to see if there are any stories surrounding this kind of... artistic license.

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.

  • Hidden in the MiddenLevel 70

    <This dragon statue is similar to others found in the region but has been covered in paint. Googly eyes, stink lines, whiskers, and all manner of other rude drawings decorate the otherwise-imposing stone. The paint looks old and is flaking in places but is not as old as the statue itself.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Excavation: Winglord's PerchLevel 70

    We've discovered an ancient fishing village in the Forbidden Reach! It's this humble isle off the northwest coast with its own crumbling bridge and everything! I'll be there if you're looking for more dirt to dig up!
