Description

This will be a long process. Longer, I fear, than Dagran can stay here in the Isles. But perhaps... There are many titan relics I can use as "keys" to unlocking information in the mainframe or to repair it. That may make the process go more quickly. Only time will tell. You have helped us enough, {name}. Go back to Moira and tell her what we have discovered.

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.

Dornogal Quest turn-in no plotted point
Vault of Memory Objective area no plotted point

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • What's Hidden Beneath DornogalIsle of Dorn · Level 80

    Strange. The mechanism and console here is receiving power, but I cannot initialize the reboot sequence. Dagran's query may have to wait. I have been able to ascertain the facility's designation: the "Vault of Memory." This leads me to believe that my original theory was correct.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Urban OdysseyIsle of Dorn · Level 80

    Did ye hear, <name>? A lot of folks from the city are eager to lend a hand an' support our attack on the nerubians and Xal'atath. I think it's worth reachin' out tae them tae see how they could pitch in. The more support we gather, the better.
