Note that this quest is simply a series of dialogue followed by a forced teleport. A short distance away is one of the untapped ley-line portals waiting to be opened. If you wish to avoid a headache, activate the portal first - I did not realize the teleport happened without consent, and so missed my opportunity, and now will have to ascend to that point once again just to activate it. Hopefully Blizzard will at least add a text warning about this in the future.

Description

This is all that remains of the Moon Guard. Take a good look. We are but a shadow of our former selves, and we have the Nightborne to thank for our demise. For now there is nothing more we can do. If we want to live, we must leave immediately. Retribution can wait.

Where to go

Pins are the quest’s own POI points from the current retail client, projected onto the in-game zone map. The game marks one blob as the quest’s turn-in; the rest are objective areas. Points that fall outside a map’s window are dropped rather than guessed at.

    Do you see the Nightborne outside this room? They hold us here, like mice in a cage. It is more convenient for them that we are pinned down while they search the Sanctum for my father's relics. My companions and I can escape to higher ground with some help. Take this crystal.
