Description

It's time, {name}. The Primalist forces in the air are dwindling now that you've handled things on the ground. Raszageth is calling in one of her lieutenants to reinforce the Primalist forces, thanks to your efforts. I need you to handle this monster while I push forward to fight Raszageth and help Khadgar. Look for my magic during your fight. I will do what I can to aid you. It is time for Raszageth to face the fury of the Aspect of magic!

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.

  • Free AirThe Azure Span · Level 30-70

    The Primalists are using these massive orbs here to hold off Kalecgos. At this rate, Kalecgos will be too injured to continue the fight. If he falls, I won't be able to fend off Raszageth. The empowered gem you hold should allow you to disguise yourself as an elemental to sneak ahead.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • The Storm-Eater's FuryThe Azure Span · Level 30-70

    Raszageth is attempting to rip all the arcane magic out of the tower so she can destroy it! Kalecgos is doing what he can to hold her back, and I am using my magic to try to replenish the ley energy. I fear we will not last much longer.
