When I did this quest, I received Charred Nerubian Warplate and also reputation with Council of Dornogal. But I wanted to lookup here how much reputation it was. Unfortunately I don't see that reward here on wowhead.

That is every comment on this page.

Description

By the titans... The Coreway appears completely destroyed! It will take years, perhaps centuries, to remove the rubble and repair the damage the nerubians did to its inner structure, much less traverse to the world's core. More than that with the Stonebound gone... I must take a moment to decide what to do. Your friends have safely arrived. Speak to them, and stay out of my way. If we need you, I will let you know.

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.

  • They Come from BelowIsle of Dorn · Level 70-73

    I do not yet know why you have come here, outlander. But you seem... efficient in killing nerubians. As are we, the Stormriders, vanguards of this isle. The nerubians are an ancient enemy. I would not be surprised if this Zirix knows and fears me, the Stormward.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Isle of DornIsle of Dorn · Level 70-80

    Survivors from the attack on Dalaran are beset by nerubians led by Queensguard Zirix. Lend your aid to protect whomever remains.
