Preserve the Legacy

Preserve the Legacy is a quest for level 80 in Azj-Kahet. It is step 4 of 6 in the Strength Amidst Ruins storyline. The quest's turn-in marker is in Isle of Dorn at 31.5, 51.0. It rewards 11,750 experience and money.

Description

The larger threat has been contained, <name>, but I believe there are still other artifacts important to our legacy--good and bad--here in Azj-Kahet.

While they are still dangerous, their knowledge may benefit us in the long run. And, we must not allow the nerubians to profit from what they and Xal'atath did to Dalaran.

Leave no dark corners here in the Breathing Pit unexplored, <name>.

This quest is pretty much ... broken.
Unable to complete currently. You can't interact with the items.

[EDIT] - I was tabbed out and returned after a few minutes and suddenly i could interact with the items.
I did notice another player starting the quests in this area and phasing in and out. Maybe him starting the previous quests before this specific quest triggered something...

When you turn this Quest in to Jaina, she comments on the [Thalen Songweaver's Notes] you picked up and how she will destroy them herself.

I really dislike this line. It feels very, VERY out-of-character for Jaina Proudmoore.

The notes detail the Mana Bomb and I understand Jaina's painful connection with such technology and the destruction of Theramore, but Jaina is not the type of person to ascribe personal feelings against the concept of knowledge.
This character direction is nothing more than book burning "logic", the idea that the knowledge itself is good or evil and not the person who applies the knowledge for a good or evil purpose.

I don't like how this bit was written. It feels like someone briefly skimmed the surface of Jaina's page on a WoW wiki, then wrote the Quest without understanding who she is as a person.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Critical MassAzj-Kahet · Level 80

    This is exactly what I had feared. Thalen Songweaver's notes on the mana bomb he devised to devastate Theramore were under guard in Dalaran. Few knew of this. I argued they should be destroyed. But others argued if such a bomb was again created, we would need them to disarm it.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Too Powerful, Too DangerousAzj-Kahet · Level 80

    Some of the relics the nerubians now possess were housed in carefully-designed containment vaults on Dalaran. That is how dangerous and powerful they are. With those vaults gone, the only course of action we can take is to destroy them.

The storyline at a glance

Strength Amidst Ruins has 6 steps, from A Helping Hand to Farewell, City of Magic.
