TheWoWDBYou might possibly think, like me, 'oh, a timed race. Gotta go fast; better mount up!' Don't do this. You'll go faster on foot than you will mounted up.
Quest
Race Through Time!
A World of Warcraft quest in Thaldraszus. Facts and objectives from the current retail game data.
The highest voted Wowhead comments for this page. They are community notes, not TheWoWDB comments.
This quest is a race that happens in three stages, or locations. Each time you reach the portal at the end of a stage, you will get teleported to the next stage.
In order to find the portal, simply follow the trail of the winged boots.
Picking up the boots will give you a speed up. Any white circles on the ground will slow you down. As long as you pick up some speed-ups and avoid the white circles, you shouldn't have any problems finishing the quest within the time limit.
I wish we got to explore these time periods more than just running through for a couple seconds.

Description
{name}, we must act quickly to catch up to Ambassador Chronormu, and I mean that quite literally. Zera and I will do what we can to speed our progress, but it is imperative we avoid entangling with this time period as much as possible. To do so will slow us down and we may not be able to catch the Ambassador before she is lost to even Nozdormu's magic. We haven't a moment to lose! (Accepting this quest will begin a timer)
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.
Getting there
From the turn-in, the objective areas lie:
- Objective area
Straight-line distances in yards between the quest’s own map markers (QuestPOI) and the client’s flight-point positions (TaxiNodes); flight paths and terrain are not modelled.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- On Your Mark... Get Set...
<Nozdormu's gaze is unfocused.> The further they fall, the faster they travel. They punch holes through the fabric of time which send out great ripples. You will need to be swift to catch them.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Chromie Time
This... This is the Black Empire. We have traveled very far into the past, indeed. Look! I see Ambassador Chronormu and Eternus! We need to hurry and complete the ritual. Even my curiosity is not enough to wish to see where they might travel to next.
