Description

I have failed my people. The Coreway is impassible. Dornogal's lifeline to the Ringing Deeps has been severed as has the path beyond. The nerubians will get their comeuppance. It is my edict as it is my will. I will ascertain if the Councilward yet functions and bring him to the Archive. Speaker Brinthe should be there, titans willing. But Oathsworn citizens are still in peril. If you wish to ally with us, clear the debris here and help our survivors. I will meet you at the Archive.

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.

    The memory gem you recovered is what its name suggests. It contains an earthen's memories, directives, and a hard coding of our Edicts. This building, the Archive, is the nexus of our civilization. Here, memories are cycled, catalogued, and stored at the end of an earthen's scheduled rotation.
