TheWoWDBThose of you who are using Zygor's guide, and its telling you to do "The Foot of Fortress" note that the guide is wrong there, appearently you can't do this quest chain unless you chose the arcane tower to build. Source down there VV!

Description
We need a way to create an artificial nexus at your tower. I know where we can get the conduit to do that, but it's well-guarded. We need to keep our cool and do this the right way. I have a plan - a scroll of mass teleportation. The fungal giants and shamblers down below are covered with pustules full of an oily substance. We can use the oil to craft a makeshift ink substitute for the scroll.
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.
- Making Acquaintances
It's nice to see someone else taking a vested interest in the arcane arts, you know. It's all too rare these days if you ask me. Unfortunately, I must meet Cordana to handle an important matter, but we're in luck!
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Forming the Scroll
We'll need arcane parchment to make the scroll. The arcane energy everywhere at this nexus froze the ancients in place and settled in their bark. If we take pieces from the few that haven't been destroyed by the fungal creatures, I can mold them into parchment.
