Before this quest

• The Hardest PartIsle of Dorn · Level 80

  <Aethas sighs heavily, his voice tinged with sorrow.> Dalaran... once a symbol of unity and arcane mastery, now reduced to rubble and ash. Again. So much loss and so much pain. Friends and comrades gone in an instant, their voices silenced by Xal'atath.

• Lessons in Defensive MagicIsle of Dorn · Level 80

  The spell for the barrier is ready, but I must channel it and define its perimeter. While I channel the spell, take these wards and place them at the edges of our would-be barrier. We will empower the spell when you are finished.
