News From Beneath

News From Beneath is a quest for level 10-80 in Valdrakken. It is step 2 of 16 in the Breaking Ground storyline. It rewards 2,400 experience and money.

Description

Before I arrived, I was informed that the Life-Binder has need of our aid. There is news of the Incarnates, and she requests our presence at the Seat of the Aspects.

As for Emberthal -- there is very little we can do for now. It is best we allow her to reflect and gather thoughts alone.

they really wen't all out
I've been trough thick and thin with this game, occationally had more than year long breaks, and I've seen all weak points, Warlords, BoA, Shadowlands
but the storytelling here in Dragonflight is magnitude better than in recent expansions
I just hope that the game that had been with me for third of my life still have some life in it

Previous, required: A Creche Divided
Previous, logically: its followup, Return to Viridia, which completes the 10.0.7 The Forbidden Reach chapter (A Creche Divided, part of Embers of Neltharion)
An alternative to this: The Land Beneath, for people who are already in [zone=13862], either because they completed the above before 10.1 or because they abandoned ths
Shockingly you can do both Beneaths, you just can't have them at the same time.
Next: A Crack in the World
