Either it's bugged for me or there's another pre-req for this line. I'm 84 and he has no quests for me, still. I'm missing at least 2 more main quest hubs I think. I got the first piece of the world pillar and now I have no more quests. I scoured DeepHolm...

I had this same problem... I eventually realized I had missed the Rush escort quest in stonehearth. http://www.wowhead.com/quest=27126 You may have missed something else. Regardless, the most likely cause is missing a quest somewhere. I had flown around the zone looking for quests, but only when I started intentionally visiting the NPC locations did I find this. Easy-to-miss steps: - opening the safe to turn in the middle-fragment in stone-hearth - Rush Delivery @ Clay Mudaxle - Resona

Rewards13g 74s, 4,800 XP

Description

Stone Dragons bow only to strength. When we have punished them enough, they will bend back to our will. I have sent many of my strongest giants onto the fields in the west. They will bring the drakes to the ground. You will see to it that they do not take wing again after they fall.

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.

  • Don't. Stop. Moving.Deepholm · Level 30-35

    When Deathwing came, the Stone Dragons flocked to him. In his absence, they are again without purpose. They swarm and feed upon our kin. I have bound dozens of Opalescent Guardians, but am unable to lead them from the safety of cover. I need someone more swift, as I suspect you might be.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Fragile ValuesDeepholm · Level 30-35

    It is now time to draw the Broodmother's attention. To do so, we will need a mallet that the troggs use when making offerings to her. Seek out the Stone Trogg Beast Tamers that are attempting to tame basilisks in the southern portions of the Pale Roost.
