The Dragon Isles Await popped up on login after patch 10.0.2 was life.
This is the horde version of the Dragonflight's prepatch event.



  1. The Dragon Isles Await - travel to Orgrimmar

  2. Aspectral Invitation - talk to [npc=190239] (cinematic)

  3. Expeditionary Coordination - find the marked 3 NPCs
    The Dark Talons - talk to [npc=198442]
    - leave Orgrimmar and meet [npc=197279] outside

  4. Whispers on the Winds - talk to [npc=193450] (cinematic)

  5. Legacy of Tyr: Secrets of the Past - Uldaman dungeon quest. You can queue up for the quest by looking at specific dungeons
    Chasing Storms - talk to Storm Huntress Suhrakka next to you (vendor)
    A Primal Threat - quest to collect items at the prepatch events.
    You can find these events in Badlands, Northern Barrens, Tirisfal Glades and Un'goro Crater, marked on the world map

Questline took about 5 minutes (without dungeon).

Check-in with Storm Huntress Suhrakka. She's leading the expedition efforts to investigate the storms and can help outfit you with whatever gear you need.


These storms are wild, dangerous things. If you wish to confront them, you'll want extra protection.

In my years of hunting, I've gathered many things that helped ward against the wrath of the elements. Perhaps some of them may be of use to you as well.

the dialogue suggests buying her supplies before confronting the elemental invasions... but you only buy them with a currency FROM the elemental invasions...
good job I'm already geared... but bad writing!

Description

Well, that wizard certainly knows how to make an entrance, doesn't he? We won't be able to set sail until someone gets those elemental storms under control. Check-in with Storm Huntress Suhrakka. She's leading the expedition efforts to investigate the storms and can help outfit you with whatever gear you need. While you handle that, I'll coordinate the rest of the preparations. At least it'll give me some time to read a few more volumes on dragon history before we set sail.

    Hello, <name>. It's been a while, and I wish we had more time to catch up. But you see, I've just had a rather enlightening... no, make that foreboding... yes, a foreboding conversation with an old friend. Sometimes a revelation can be both, after all. I really must tell you of what I've learned.

    Our preliminary expedition has made landfall in the Dragon Isles. Thanks to the efforts of those brave Dragonscale Expedition members, we've established a protected landing site in the Dragon Isles and made contact with the dragonflight's embassy.
