TheWoWDBIf you like me was never able to figure out which quest to take next, you might need to speak to [npc=26117] to get a [item=35671] - this helped me complete the Blue Dragonflight for Nothing Boring About Borean.
Hope it helps so others don't have to dive deep into google to find it like I had to :,3

The highest voted Wowhead comments for this page. They are community notes, not TheWoWDB comments.
The quest name makes me think of Gandalf when he's speaking to Frodo about the ring: "Keep it secret, keep it safe!", or as he says later on when returning to Frodo: "Is it secret? Is it safe?".

Seared Scale Cape, Serrah's Star, Gauntlets of the Crimson Guardian, 10g 50s, 4,100 XPDescription
Our existence here depends entirely upon staying hidden. Should the shield fail, even for a moment, Malygos' minions would have us. One of my responsibilities is to rejuvenate the warmages' mana levels so their focus doesn't falter. With our supply lines lost, I've been forced to improvise. I could use your help, {name}. Very near the Nexus, Arcane Serpents feast on the abundant magical energies. Once defeated, they will yield a mana essence that I can make use of.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Nuts for Berries
Oh! What a relief it is to see a fresh face. I was beginning to feel we had been forsaken. Our supply lines were cut off days ago, and things have been looking - well, bleak. To be honest, this was a suicide mission to begin with if you ask me.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Basic Training
This is war, mortal, and we are the tip of the spear. Your little spats over land or currency pale in comparison to this conflict. We face the aspect Malygos and his entire blue dragonflight. All you need to know is that if he is victorious, this world shall be no more.
