Description

Ten thousand years ago...

The Highborne lived here in prosperity. We considered ourselves above the common ranks of the other night elves. With our every need met by magic and wealth, we led lives of indulgence and amusement. And greed...

The spirits you see here are overwhelmed with remorse and regret. Their anguish chains them here. If you wish to learn more of Kel'theril and Zin'malor, free them from their agony.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • The Ruins of Kel'TherilWinterspring · Level 15-30

    At this lake, the Crystal of Zin-Malor was stolen by the Highborne. The crystal was a powerful artifact that bent arcane magic in wild and unpredictable ways... but it could only be held by the worthy, and brought doom upon all others.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Descendants of the HighborneWinterspring · Level 15-30

    Not long after my death, the greed of my people would lead to their exile. A continent away, they would become Quel'dorei, the High Elves. In Quel'thalas they would bathe in the power of their Sunwell, and forget their legacy of desire and greed.
