TheWoWDBAfter the cutscene I was right back at the feet of Jadzigeth, who was resurrected and aggroed. It would be a little more sporting (to the player) to transpo us a little ways away, or back to the questgiver or something. Not right back into the aggro zone of the mob we just killed.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Proto-Fight
These proto-dragons detest us. They believe we are a twisted version of dragonkind that is manipulated and chained by the Titans. They do not understand. Which is why they feel safe even as they throw their forces at our walls. They are mistaken. Take this spear, <name>. Kill our enemies.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Exeunt, Triumphant
From what I saw, the queen fell back to the Wild Hatchery. It is an outpost to keep watch over the proto-drakes in the area... I only hope that its defenses are enough. We must head there at once!
