Description

Long after my death, my people would suffer an even greater mistake. The High Elves relied on the Sunwell and its glory. Never imagining a world without it, we would never make preparations to deal with such a fate. Later, when the Sunwell fell to the forces of the undead, what was left of my descendants would be lost and helpless... and the path they would take in response would change them forever. The Sin'dorei, still striving for redemption, would return here as well...

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.

  • Legacy of the High ElvesWinterspring · Level 15-30

    One hundred years ago... I and a small group of other High Elves traveled here from our homeland, Quel'thalas. We sought the ancient mysteries of Kel'thoril... to find why it was destroyed. We found fragments in the ice, shards of the crystal.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Pain of the Blood ElvesWinterspring · Level 15-30

    One year ago... The legend of the Crystal of Zin-Malor reached Silvermoon, and I led a group of the finest warriors and scholars available to this land. We brought ample mana crystals, so none of us would be tempted to taste the crystal itself. The crystal did not need our hunger to ruin us.
