Storyline Overview:

SpoilerSuramar was the ancient capital city of the Night Elves empire until the Legion arrived. The Night Elves made a pact with the Legion in return for power, but it was a trap. As destruction approached, the Night Elves created a powerful shield around the city which protected it during the Sundering of the rest of Azeroth into two continents. For a thousand years, they were cut off from the rest of the world behind their shield until the Legion returned; during which time, without food, they fed themselves on Arcane Magic from the Nightwell that they built in the center of Suramar. The Legion offered them their lives in exchange for access to the Nightwell. Some of the Night Elves rebelled, and for their rebellion they were outcast from the city and became known as the Nightfallen. Without access to the Nightwell for nourishment, they slowly withered away into mindless zombies. A few Nightfallen have survived by drinking Ancient Mana which is a liquid form of Arcane Magic, derived from Leylines (energy waves) below Suramar. One of these Nightfallen outcast survivors is Princess Leia Arcanist Thalyssra. This Nightfall questline introduces us to her and the plight of the Nightfallen as well as their need for Ancient Mana to survive and their efforts to organize an uprising to retake control of Suramar. You are asked to help.

Where this quest fits

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Magic MessageSuramar · Level 45

    For the last 10,000 years, the elven city of Suramar has been sealed in an arcane barrier, much like Dalaran once was. That barrier has come down. Since then, waves of magical energy have been emanating from the city like ripples in a pond. It was in these waves that I sensed a pattern.

The storyline at a glance

Nightfall has 9 steps, from Khadgar's Discovery to Ancient Mana.

Maps its steps are placed on (steps per map): Suramar (6), Dalaran (2), Dalaran (1).
