Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

    Well, there's two factors at play here, eh? We should do our due diligence and figure out who this was a statue of. But between you and me? I'm much more interested in learning about the jokesters that turned it into this work of art.

After this quest

  • Surveying the CliffsideLevel 70

    Nothing like brisk ocean air to get you in the mood to dig! We're standing in the rubble of an ancient dragonkin fishing village. These dragonkin were ancestors of the blue dragonkin that live on the island today.
