Description

<Cindrethresh glances suspiciously at the proto-dragons lurking on the ridge behind her.>

I'd swear that those proto-dragons edge closer to camp every time I turn my back...

Those are not the dragons Ebyssian invited us here to meet.

Proto-dragons are ruthless predators who cannot be reasoned with. We must be ruthless in return.

Cull their numbers to keep their ambitions in check, or this expedition will be over before it begins.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Explorers in PerilThe Waking Shores · Level 10-70

    Don't mistake the expedition's scholarly pursuits as timidness, <name>. We are not recluses studying books in far-off towers. We are adventurers, hunting down knowledge first-hand in every corner of Azeroth!

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Practice MaterialsThe Waking Shores · Level 10-70

    These proto-drakes are unlike any I've seen before on Azeroth. Their scales appear to be naturally flame-resistant, stronger than steel, and don't lose flexibility in the process. Incredible. My artisans--all of them--are clamoring to get their hands on some of those scales to work with.
