Description

They ransacked my library, <name>.

If they want our knowledge, we will give it to them.

Another awesomely &*!@ing retarded quest design. Get swarmed by mobs that the trap rune does not help against. Die, rez, repeat.

Trap rune does not work - check
Mobs evade regularly - check
Large packs of mobs spawn at too frequent intervals - check.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • The Rift BetweenSuramar · Level 45

    I was with Lothrius when the Nightborne poured into the stronghold. He and his constructs managed to get the majority of us out of the Athenaeum, but he was cornered before he could make good on his own escape. I know he still lives- I feel it in my gut!- but I cannot go back for him myself.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Precious Little LeftSuramar · Level 45

    I have not been able to leave the safety of my guardians to search, but there are three tomes of great importance to me and mine. They contain secrets and cantrips that the Nightborne must NOT obtain.
