Rewards28g 9s, 9,500 XP

Description

Because of our recent conflicts, I have been researching the djaradin. Our archives had little information on their elders. Legends say that they were once great warlords who now slumber beneath the earth. The djaradin believe they will awaken and lead them to a brutal victory against the dragonflights. We need to know what we are up against. There is an empty shrine just below us that resembles the ones housing the elders. We may find some answers there.

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.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Sight Beyond SightZaralek Cavern · Level 10-80

    I had not expected to find djaradin here, though it does not surprise me. Legends tell of their elders slumbering beneath the earth. It makes sense that some would delve underground in search of them. Their forces are heavily guarding this outer area.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Know Thy EnemyZaralek Cavern · Level 10-80

    That djaradin called her people the "Zaqali"--but my troops did not report any information regarding a second active djaradin tribe in the Dragon Isles. I detest an unknown in war. We will need to learn what we can about them--and quickly--in order to assess their strengths and weaknesses.

The storyline at a glance

The Ancient Bargain has 16 steps, from Where There's Smoke, There's Fire to In the Wake of the Ashes.
