Archmage Aethas Sunreaver is kneeling down by the top bit of the ship, you can see it in distance from Jaina and Thrall (towards inland).
Click on the mana potion so he gets some mana and gets back to action, by giving you the quest.

That is every comment on this page.

Description

Dalaran housed many precious and powerful relics. Many of them were damaged in the crash and are now malfunctioning. They must be destroyed! Take this scroll. I have stored a shattering spell within it. Read the words aloud and its magic will be unleashed. Report what you have done to Jaina when you are through. She will understand.

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.

  • Urgent RecoveryIsle of Dorn · Level 70-73

    We survived mostly unharmed. Not everyone was so lucky. Many who were in Dalaran when it went down are unaccounted for. They will need our help. Search the battlefield for survivors. Help them in any way you can. We need everyone up and fighting!

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Shattered SpiresIsle of Dorn · Level 70-73

    With nothing to contain their arcane power, Dalaran's spires are crumbling. If we let their energies continue to bleed out unchecked, that power could destabilize and destroy what is left of our forces. Find Aethas! He will know what to do.
