Description

Now we may begin our search for the Crown of the Triumvirate. We will start with the fragment Archimonde carried: the Sigil of Awakening. To the east and north you will find all that remains of the greatest school of magic on Argus. It was there that Archimonde gained his mastery of the arcane. I can think of no other place he would stow his treasures. It will be guarded, no doubt. We will leverage the expertise of Fareeya's forces here to follow this trail.

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.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • The Path ForwardEredath · Level 45

    <Velen stares beyond the arena for a time.> We must continue on, but I feel Eredath is far from finished with us. We should take advantage of this relative safety while we still can. I will place a signal beacon that will allow the Vindicaar to lock onto our location.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Conservation of MagicEredath · Level 45

    I have an idea. This construct will be of use to us. We simply need to jolt it awake. We once stored great quantities of energy in conduits throughout the Conservatory. They are still functional, but only just. Take this.
