Before taking the portal back, take a moment to enjoy the exchange between Azuregos and Sindragosa.


Sindragosa: Azuregos, a word of advice if you would hear me.
Azuregos: Lady Sindragosa... I would be honored to hear your words.
Sindragosa: I know why you seclude yourself in the Nexus. You look to break the barriers of our realm to find the one you once loved.
Sindragosa: To bring one that belongs in another world to the world of the living.
Azuregos: I had hoped when the gateway to the Shadowlands opened, I would find a way... but all I have are more questions than answers.
Sindragosa: What you wish is impossible, Azuregos, if you continue to search for answers alone.
Sindragosa: Your love will turn to bitter hatred, both for the one you care for, and for the world that refused to give you the answers you seek.
Sindragosa: Seek aid in your fellow blue dragons. You may never find your answer, but they will help mend your heart.
Azuregos: Thank you, Lady Sindragosa. I shall carry your words with me for the rest of my days.

For those who don't know, Azuregos was once a World Boss in Classic WoW. He literally spent so long dying and respawning that he got to know the local spirit healer, Anara the kyrian, eventually falling in love with her. While the two parted on good terms, Azuregos seems to still hold out hope that he can see her again before his time comes.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Unusual DisruptionsLevel 36-80

    Of course I can help track down the missing blue dragons. However, I have a mess on my hands that must be addressed first. Moments ago, several bursts of arcane energy swept through the Nexus, followed by attacks of strange arcane creations.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Where in the World is a Lost Blue Dragon?Level 36-80

    Azuregos has narrowed down the locations of the missing blue dragons. Each of us will handle finding several of them. I would entrust you to aid us in finding a few others. Choose where you'd like to go first.
