Description

These stones are an incredible discovery, even if their intended use is never realized.

But before we try them out, we have a process to adhere to. They must be examined and cataloged, and reports sent and received to both the Reliquary and Explorers' League headquarters.

Let's meet back at basecamp. We can go over what's next.

I'm assuming this questline continues once you hit renown 24 with the Dragonscale Expedition, but for now it kinda ends nowhere, without rewarding any kind of rep or anything else. Somewhat disappointing.

Considering we got a lot of rep from the Tuskaar questline. The complete lack of reward for this part absolutely sucked.

The turn-in for this quest is Toddy Whiskers in the main tent at Dragonscale Basecamp. (Waking Shores 47.25 82.73) .
Doesn't show on the map nor the minimap for some reason

The Judgment of TyrLevel 36-80
Welcome to the Veiled Ossuary. Originally built to house and memorialize the dead. Now the likely location of the stone we've come to call the Judgment of Tyr. We haven't received reports of any overt Sundered Flame presence here, but the expedition has learned that they prefer to strike unawares.
