I wish I knew more about how to welcome you to the Dragon Isles, but I'm only the sentry.

You could try talking with Ambassador Fastrasz in the visitor center. He might be able to answer more of your questions before the dragons arrive.

Mind your step in there. He was clearing out rubble last I saw.

  • Where is Wrathion?The Waking Shores · Level 10-70

    Hm, wonder where Wrathion is? He said he'd be here waitin' for us with an ambassador for Alexstrasza the Life-Binder, Queen of the Dragons. It does nae seem like a dragon to break a promise. Well! At least this eager wee drakonid is here to welcome us.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • My First Real Emergency!The Waking Shores · Level 10-70

    <Sendrax looks puzzled.> I have never known the majordomo to be late to anything, much less THIS late to something THIS important. Most unusual... <Sendrax perks up at a thought.> I could use my emergency signal flare to alert them to your arrival.
