Description
It's nice to see someone else taking a vested interest in the arcane arts, you know. It's all too rare these days if you ask me! Unfortunately, I must meet Cordana to handle an important matter, but we're in luck! One of my good friends in the Kirin Tor has agreed to help you connect your arcane sanctum to the ley line network. He's waiting at my tower. Let's leave immediately and introduce you to one another.
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.

Khadgar didn't immediately move, so I abandoned the quest and reacquired it. Again, he didn't move, but DID when I moved.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- An Audience With The Archmage
Your Arcane Sanctum is coming along nicely, commander. Everything's built to spec... except for one detail Gazlowe scrawled in at the bottom of the blueprint. "Don't forget to connect the sanctum to the ley line network!" I, uh... I have no idea how to do that.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Creating the Ink
We're going to need a way to create an artificial nexus at your tower. I know where we can get what we need, but it's heavily protected. We don't have the firepower to just waltz in the front door. I have a plan - a scroll of mass teleportation.
