What to do

StorylineMount Hyjal, step 40 of 118

Description

The firestorms up ahead are unbound elementals in the purest form - something I didn't think could exist outside their own plane. Only very skilled summoners could unleash something like this. {name}, head into the Inferno and seek out Twilight Inferno Lords. They've got to be summoning in reinforcements as we speak. Silence them... For good!

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Return from the FirelandsMount Hyjal · Level 30-35

    I'll usher out the rest of the followers of Lo'Gosh and seal this portal behind us. The rest of our forces at Mount Hyjal will want to hear of this victory. Return to Takrik Ragehowl and let him know what we've discovered and how we were triumphant!

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Save the Wee AnimalsMount Hyjal · Level 30-35

    Help us, <class>! The forest is aflame, and the wee animals can't find their way out. They can't fight for themselves, with their teeny-tiny little teeth and their soft furry paws! They're fluffy and sweet. They have wet little noses! If you don't save them, I don't want to even THINK about it.
