Description
The Thunder King was a vicious Emperor and with the Zandalari at his side he was unstoppable. His return would surely return this land to turmoil and misery. You must locate his remains and take them somewhere safe. The Tablet of Thunder should help you figure out how to access his tomb.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Stealing Their Thunder King
Our only hope is to find the Thunder King's remains before they do. He must be buried within the Tomb of Conquerors. Getting to his remains will not be easy, <name>. The tomb will no doubt be defended by guardians and other unfriendly surprises intended to ward off thieves.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Chasing the Storm
We need to figure out where they are taking the Thunder King's remains. It won't be possible for them to resurrect him in the Valley of the Emperors. They would need to be somewhere remote and secure. It appears that getting out of here may also prove to be a challenge....
