Since there are no [class=2] or [class=6] versions of the quest chain that begins with The Rise of the Darkspear, none of the Echo Island quests unlock for these two classes.

[npc=38440]
Vol'jin be callin' for an all out attack on da naga that have taken over our northern isle. Many of our men were already engaged with their forces near da bridge, but several of us are breakin' through their lines ta assault their isle itself.
Speak to Jornun right 'ere to secure a ride to da isle. Once there, seek out Morakki, da Captain of da Watch. He will be tellin' ya how ya can aid in da battle.[npc=38989]:

Yes. Do you have a raptor that can take me there?[Speak to [npc=38989] to secure a ride to Spitescale Cove and then seek out [npc=38442].]
Location: Spitescale Cavern in [zone=6453]
[npc=38442]:
Good to have ya, brotha.
Vol'jin makes us all proud in dese moments. It feels good ta be tacklin' threats head on.
Da naga have committed great atrocities on our people. Da time ta show dem mercy has long passed.
Enter da cave and kill any naga you find dere. Every naga dead dis day is one less naga ta take us unawares later on. I trust ya will be thorough.[Kill 12 Spitescale Naga.]
[npc=38442]:
Well fought, young <race>.
Dis is no casual counter-attack. We be fully intendin' ta slaughter every last naga here and do anything we can ta ensure that dey will have no desire ta return.
I want ya ta place dese fetishes on any Spitescale banner ya be findin' inside their cave. It should prove a clear statement of what we think of their presence here. More dan dat, da magic in dese fetishes will be weakenin' any Spitescale dat approach, which should make dem second guess stayin' on our isle.[Place 8 [item=52065]es on Spitescale flags.]
[npc=38442]:
Dat should keep dem at bay.
Da Sea Witch is here, on top of dis very isle. We've been waitin' a long time for dis chance at revenge and ya will be havin' da privilege of seein' it through.
Meet with Vol'jin, up da ramp to da northeast. Let him know when you are ready ta join da battle.Location: Spitescale Cove in [zone=6453]
[npc=38966]:
Share has returned. Tha revenge of the Darkspear finally comes to pass dis day.
Let me know when ya ready, <name>. We'll not let her slip away again.Player Character:
I am ready, Vol'jin.[Speak with [npc=38966] in Spitescale Cove and aid him in killing [npc=38306], the Sea Witch.]
[npc=38225]:
Ya were foolish to come 'ere, Sea Witch. Ya escaped our vengeance once, but the Darkspear Tribe will not abide ya trespassin' again.[npc=38306]:
You are weak Vol'jin, like your father was weak. Today I will finish what I started long ago - the Darkspear shall be wiped from existence![npc=38437]:
Take care of her spirits! We be handlin' Zar'jira.<She's drawing power from the fires! Stamp out the braziers, quickly!>
[npc=38306]:
You were a fool to touch my fires! When Vol'jin falls, you know who dies next![npc=38423]:
I'll get the fires dis time![npc=38306]:
Not so fast, little troll![npc=38437]:
ZUNI! NOOOO![npc=38225]:
It be done. Our ancient enemy is defeated.
I been waitin' a long time for a chance to avenge my father. A great weight has been lifted from my shoulders.
I must be returnin' ta Darkspear Hold. Please meet me there once Vanira is done with her healin' of the boy.[npc=38437]:
I'm afraid there's nothin' I can do for our brother... her power tore away at his soul.
I'll send some watchers ta get his body so we can offer a proper farewell... I wish I could do more.
Vol'jin rushed off in eagerness, but I can take us back to safety. Just give me the word when ya ready, mon.
An ancient score is settled today.Player Character:
Take me back to Darkspear Hold if you would, Vanira.
