TheWoWDBThis quest was somewhat confusing for me, as I immediately found a non-interactive brazier next to a waygate and used the waygate. Up on the ledge where that took me, there was a clickable brazier and then a vision, but it didn't give me credit for anything. It also seemed to spawn a never-ending line of celestial defenders that got me nowhere.
Instead, when you get the quest, do the visions in this order:
- Turn around from the quest giver and you'll find a clickable brazier against the far wall, to the right of where you landed
- After that vision, then the brazier next to the waygate (near the quest giver) will be clickable
- After that, you can take the waygate if you want since there's a purple chest up there after you watch that vision. It's not needed, though.
- Facing away from the waygate, you'll see a torch ahead and a little to the left. Right behind that wall is a ramp. Go up the ramp and do a u-turn to find the next brazier.

Turned in by talking to Ebonhorn. He just continued to follow me around and wouldn't talk to me, a simple relog worked and the question mark appeared over his head.
Edit: Nope, the problem is that there's a _fourth_ brazier, and it's chronologically number 3 - but isn't required for the mission. So if you go through the waygate and get vision number three and then think you're stuck because the mission won't complete - keep looking around.

Description
It was in this place, ages ago, that Huln Highmountain challenged the great Deathwing. Today we shall re-live moments of that day through the eyes of our ancestors. For this next part of the spirit journey, we must seek out the three braziers set down many ages ago so that those who would follow in the footsteps of Huln might witness his deeds.
