Description
My hesitation to discuss these symbols was not for a lack of trust in you, but rather the unknown nature of these symbols and the stones upon which they reside. Yes, stones. Multiple, in fact. Scattered across the Isles. <Warpcaster Delandra glances at you. A hint of curiosity and excitement glows in her eyes.> You did not know. Very well. Your persistence and willingness to seek me out shows that you are keen to understand your recent discovery. Perhaps it is time we discuss this at length.
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 Awakening
The waygate sits just behind me. There is no way to tell how long we have until the waning enchantment on this vessel fades, or even worse, breaks. That amount of unstable energy being released could be catastrophic. Shall we continue?
