Looming Shadows

Looming Shadows is a quest for level 83-88 in Harandar. It is step 2 of 2 in the Return to the Scouting Map storyline, the final step. The quest's turn-in marker is in Silvermoon City at 45.5, 70.3. It rewards 1,500 experience and money.

Description

Though we've triumphed over Ruia and the Lightbloom for now, more remains to be done. The elders will want to convene regarding the Hara'ti's new place in the world, now that we have stepped out from the shadows of our past.

Our reticence and fear will not vanish overnight. But this is an important first step.

We will be fine, <name>. Let Orweyna and I deal with the elders. When the time comes, the Hara'ti shall be at your side. For now, though, I'd imagine you have more pressing matters to attend to.

I logged out after finishing the Harandar questline and this quest next to the portal disappeared completely. The quest still showed there, which worried me that I couldn't access it. However, when I went to the Sanctum of Light, a dwarf NPC "Koruth Mountainfist" showed up out of nowhere with the quest. I completed it, but the quest still remains on my map of Silvermoon, so I think I got the Alliance version.

Edit: I returned to the Haranir portal in Silvermoon where the quest marker remains and the Looming Shadows quest was actually there. I had also just completed the Zul'Aman. If you're having issues, just continue with the story and check back. The quest seems unimportant tot he campaign and just seems to trigger some dialogue at the Sanctum of Light before you move onto the next chapter.

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.

    I will go to Silvermoon but... I will return here to advise Zul'jarra. I feel I let my past and my prejudices get in the way of my judgement regarding the Amani. You could say that being a hash'ura is a befitting atonement but...
