For anyone who lost him doing "Bad Intentions" he moves to a balcony to the west of, and in view of Crimson Thicket. he doesn't have a question mark because there is still more dialog. This is at the eastern most part of Tel'anor overlooking a river.

Description

Suramar is lost. Our leaders struck a dark bargain, accepting the Legion as our allies. We were meant to be heroes, guardians - the people resting here. We are not like them any more. I cannot live with them. But cut off from the Nightwell, we wither and devolve into a mindless existence. An existence without release or dignity, as you can see even here... I rejected both of these options and found myself here. I will find a third way.

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.

  • An Ancient RecipeSuramar · Level 45

    Suramar is... was... an intellectual's dream. We studied everything in there, from alchemy and the arts to the very nature of magic itself. How could we be so foolish as to accept them in? Look at me, lost in the clouds again when there is much to be done.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Tools of the TradeSuramar · Level 45

    I used to visit here before the barrier was raised. While the ruling council and the Grand Magistrix argued and politicked I watched the caretakers perform their rituals and venerate the dead. I would honor the spirits here one last time. I am headed to the tombs.
