What to do
Description
With leyline energy feeding in from Anora, this chamber can begin to awaken. It will be a slow process, and we must take care to mask this activity from our enemies, a process which itself requires enormous effort and focus. Furthermore, there is the conundrum of actually consuming the mana in this form. A stream too weak is not enough to provide sustenance - too powerful and it would vaporize us. There is much work to be done yet. For now, let us examine the feed.
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.
- Power Grid
This station has fallen into disrepair. The circuit is broken, and to mend it we must recharge the seals in the central chamber. Both a high potency current and low potency current are needed for each seal. Direct the currents to point at the same seal, then engage the seal. Me? I shall supervise.
After this quest
Taken from a quest that requires this one.
- Arcane Communion
All of Kel'danath's experiments to connect with the withered failed, and some even made them more dangerous. Until he found Theryn. His arcane essence - the very soul of the shal'dorei - had been touched by something special. But what?
