TheWoWDBThis was one of the coolest quest cinematics in WoW ever! I wish they would do more of those in the future.
Also, as a fan of Mike Oldfield, I giggled as a teenager when I saw the quest's name (although it being only one of many references to the astrological/philosophical concept).

Thankfully I was fortunate to see my character in this cinematic. This was pretty neat. Would have been awesome if more cinematics in Shadowlands was like this.

Description
It started gradually, the energy emanating from the oracle in increasing amounts, until the grand design you see before you took shape. The terrible clamor ringing in our ears began shortly afterward. My attempts to approach the fractals have been... unsuccessful. But they appear to resonate with Pocopoc. You share a special bond with it; perhaps you shall have better luck than I.
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.

Before this quest

- Something Wonderful
<name>, I am so glad you are here! Firim sent me to find you. It's the oracle, it... well... it's hard to describe. You should come see it for yourself. Hurry!
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- What a Long Strange Trip
<The voice from the vision speaks through Pocopoc, albeit distant and distorted.> I... am Saezurah. Oracle. This automa... speaks with my voice. Acts with my will. For now. The pattern... is torn. Disrupted. Mending must be done. A great hunger swarms the sands. What it seeks must not be consumed.
