Description

The fabric of reality is torn. But there's no need for me to tell you that, <name>. You've seen it firsthand.

It's only a matter of time before these realities become one, veiled in eternal darkness. Instead of hiding, perhaps it's time we embraced the darkness.

With the help of our titan friend here we may be able to thread the needle of this reality through the fabric of another, creating a bridge of sorts.

After all, the key to understanding an enemy's weakness is to understand their intentions.

https://www.wowhead.com/news=311474/patch-8-3-hotfixes-for-march-2nd-nyalotha-tuning-coalescing-visions-limit-remove The currency limit for Coalescing Visions has been removed. Developers' note: Especially since the removal of the unique cap on Vessels, we've seen a lot of feedback about the inventory clutter of multiple Vessels. By removing the cap on Coalescing Visions, players should now feel free to buy Vessels from Wrathion as needed, rather than stockpiling them in bags.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Deeper Into the DarknessLevel 50

    This recent change of events allows us to continue our journey to discover what darkness lies beyond the sands. It will not be easy, <name>. We stand on the precipice of the unknown, but now the tables have turned. <Wrathion glances at your new attire.> You do dress the part.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Descending Into MadnessLevel 50

    As unfortunate as the spreading corruption may seem, I believe it provides us the opportunity to prepare for what lies ahead. Locate one of these incursions and see what happens when you peer beyond the dark veil.

The storyline at a glance

Through the Darkness has 9 steps, from Power Protocol Initiation to Accessing the Archives.

Maps its steps are placed on (steps per map): Chamber of Heart (8), Uldum (1).
