Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Arcane WastelandIsle of Dorn · Level 80

    Kirin Tor survivors have been hesitant to return to this area. A great deal of energy was dispelled before and after Dalaran's crash. An invisible yet tangible miasma lingers in the area for those who are sensitive to it.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Feeling BlueIsle of Dorn · Level 80

    I fear... that it may just be me that remains, <name>. Or that the others are too far away to receive my missive. It may be up to us to build an outpost here and see to the cleansing of the crash site. So be it. It is just as well...
