I'm level 90 and I completed the Haranir campaign but I still don't see this quest available. I completed the previous one-"The Listener", but then nothing.
Does anyone know if there are other requirements to unlock this?

I have finished all relics on my account, and when doing on my main I've done atleast 3 weeks worth of relics - but the problem is I do not recall which ones I have done on my main, and which I haven't on my main - I suppose I neeed to complete three individual relics, without knowing which?

I reported the bug, but I still really would like a script to see which I have done on my main and which I havent

Perhaps this can help someone else, in order left to right:

Wey'nan's ward: /run print(C_QuestLog.IsQuestFlaggedCompleted(88993))
The Cauldron of Echoes: /run print(C_QuestLog.IsQuestFlaggedCompleted(88994))
The Echoless Flame: /run print(C_QuestLog.IsQuestFlaggedCompleted(88996))
Rossula's Outreach: /run print(C_QuestLog.IsQuestFlaggedCompleted(88997))
Aln'hara's Bloom: /run print(C_QuestLog.IsQuestFlaggedCompleted(88995))
Root of the World: /run print(C_QuestLog.IsQuestFlaggedCompleted(88998))
Sky's Hope: /run print(C_QuestLog.IsQuestFlaggedCompleted(88999))

Running the scripts I can see I have done the same atleast a few times on my main, but now I know which ones I should complete.

UPDATE as of July 2026: I have done the 7 individual relics on my main, still this quest remains unavailable.
I have started completing weekly "blue quests" from the end beginning again - will let you know if I some day get the quest.
Blizzard seem unable to help, and just keeps saying I need to submit a bug report.
Did anyone get this quest, by doing the full Harandar campaign on another character, or how do I get this done?

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • The ListenerHarandar · Level 83-88

    Now that you've learned about our legends, you've earned the notice of one of our elders. He wants to meet you. His name is Aksem, and he knows things that the rest of us have never learned. History that remains hidden, even in the paintings. Go and introduce yourself. He's expecting you.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • The Stolen StaffHarandar · Level 83-88

    This time, I do not have a story for you. Instead, Aksem has asked that you meet with him to help recover the next of the relics. Go to speak with him, and he will tell you more of what you must do.
