Description

This is a difficult situation, my friend. Wounds and insecurities cannot be easily dismissed. Only time--and cooperation--can soothe the sting born of longstanding rivalries. But there are more urgent matters to address. If there is a large force of drakonids still loyal to the memory of Neltharion, this land is much more dangerous than any of us expected. Emberthal still pursues Sarkareth--alone. She must be made aware of the threats that surround her. We must find her and give her aid.

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.

If we appeal to him as a tactician and general, I'm sure he will help us... I hope. We will find him with his troops at the Djaradin Assault.
