StorylineKimbul's Wrath, step 2 of 12
Rewards51g 48s, 10,200 XP

Description

I do not understand why the naga would bother attacking a small fishing village. Why waste their time on our simple tribe? The naga seek power and we have none. It makes no sense! They must be after something else entirely... Search Darkwood Shoal and learn of their plans. Whatever the naga are after, it must be quite powerful. Perhaps if we find it first, we can use it against them!

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.

  • They Came From The SeaVol'dun · Level 30-60

    You are free to rest your weary legs in our camp, but I'm afraid we have little more to offer you. Naga have driven us from our village by the sea. We can no longer fish or hunt crabs. I fear we may not survive long if we cannot take back our lagoon. But taking back the lagoon will not be enough.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Crab TrappingVol'dun · Level 30-60

    We are trapped here with little in the way of food and supplies. The territorial sethrak control the land to the west, and the spiteful naga the waters to the east. We are caught between a barren desert and a hostile ocean.
