Description

We've lost the bulk of our forces already; any more and we won't have enough to make a stand. This wreckage won't keep the naga at bay, so we must find safety elsewhere. You will have to trust me here, {name}. Leap off the falls and you will descend safely.

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.

  • UpheavalNazjatar · Level 50

    So many lives lost... And the attacks from the naga are relentless! I apologize, <name>. This attitude is unbecoming of a king. We have no time to lose musing of our own plight. Let us meet with Jaina and descend from this perilous place into the unknown.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Fortunate SoulsNazjatar · Level 50

    You and I survived the attack and have thus far evaded capture by the enemy. Not all were as fortunate. There are many of our allies now under the control of the naga. We must free them before they are killed or suffer an even worse fate.
