make sure to actually follow Sendrax :D i went afk after telling them to send the flare and the "wait for the dragons' arrival" part didn't complete.. if that happens, can just abandon and reaquire the quest from Sendrax (spawns in the earlier spot in front of the staircase).. properly completed when i actually followed Sendrax over to wait for the dragons.

The NPC dialogue that takes place during this quest:


[npc=193363] says: We were trained to only use these signal flares if the situation is dire.
Sendrax says: But I suppose this is a type of emergency.
Sendrax says: There! Majordomo Selistra will arrive soon.

(The group begins moving down the path in the direction of the Wingrest Embassy.)

[npc=193366] says: Does the majordomo personally respond to every call for help?

Sendrax says: Oh yes. In times of trouble, there is no one Queen Alexstrasza trusts more.

[npc=193365] says: Here they come!

Naleidea Rivergleam says: Incredible!

(Both dragons land, their shapes morphing almost the instant they touch the ground.)

Wrathion says: Ah, look who we have here!

Majordomo Selistra says: We saw the flare and assumed the worst. What is wrong, Cadet Sendrax?

Sendrax says: Majordomo. The new arrivals... were wondering where you were... and I thought--

Majordomo Selistra says: I see.
Majordomo Selistra says: There was a reason for our absence. And ancient rival, the djaradin, have stirred to violence once again.
Majordomo Selistra says: Dragonheart Outpost has already fallen.

Description

<Sendrax looks puzzled.> I have never known the majordomo to be late to anything, much less THIS late to something THIS important. Most unusual... <Sendrax perks up at a thought.> I could use my emergency signal flare to alert them to your arrival. Then they would come rushing to greet you immediately! I've never fired my emergency signal flare before, though...

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.
