Description

I fear our efforts to stop Zovaal have been thwarted, mortal.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Korthia AwaitsKorthia · Level 60

    Ready yourself, <name>. Our allies await your arrival in Korthia.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • A Symbol of HopeKorthia · Level 60

    Before Anduin followed the Jailer through the gateway, he dropped something. I don't think this was part of the Jailer's plan. It must be a sign that Anduin's soul is still his own! <Jaina opens her hand to show you a golden compass.> This was very personal to Anduin. I feel his presence upon it.
