Description

"He awaits you in the darkness"?

<Emberthal's eyes narrow.>

I know where Sarkareth is.

I'll need your help holding him to account. If you want, you could stay here a while and pick through these ruins, but I think we have more pressing needs at hand. If you're willing to see this through to the end, then I need you to follow me.

I'm going to Dragonskull Island.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Keeping the Flame at BayThe Forbidden Reach · Level 70

    It's not enough that Sarkareth kills our people, twists our heritage, and burns everything in his path. Now he seeks to pillage the creche of the Adamantine Vigil. <Emberthal snarls.> Ebyssian and I will stay here while you push back the Sundered Flame.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • A Creche DividedThe Forbidden Reach · Level 70

    This place... I have not been here for a long time. Not since before I was a Scalecommander. It is a dark place, full of pain... and failure. This was where Neltharion tested those he considered most worthy of his attention. He poked and prodded us with powers we could not understand or control.
