Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

• A Vainglorious PastLevel 45

  The Heart's magic is attuned to Azshara's elite through powerful warding spells. If we tried to tap into its power now we would be met only with our own demise. However, there may be a way we can bypass the wards.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

• Tempering DarknessLevel 45

  I do not doubt Senegos' plan, but I do have some concerns about the Heart's volatility, especially when combined with nightmare energy. Despite its name, Blood of Sargeras is often used as a tempering agent by master craftsmen. I believe it would work for our ritual as well.
