Quest Log

Investigating the Highlands

Investigating the Highlands is a legendary quest for level 50. It is step 1 of 2 in the In the Shadow of Crimson Wings storyline, the opening step. The quest's turn-in marker is in Twilight Highlands at 35.8, 50.6. It rewards 850 experience and money.

Description

When I first sensed these essences, I did not anticipate the importance of the role they would play. It is only a matter of time before all of the dragonflights are brought into the fold.

Though I have reached out to the other Aspects, I have yet to hear from Alexstrasza. It is odd that she would be silent while these powers manifest.

She was last seen in the Vermillion Redoubt in Twilight Highlands.

I fear she may be in trouble. We must hurry.

  • In the Shadow of Crimson WingsLevel 50

    It is unlike Alexstrasza to remain out of contact for so long, particularly when the very essences of the dragonflights' power are being made manifest. While our allies here tend to the injured, we must seek out the Life-Binder at once.
