Description

Our situation is worse than we thought. Their dominance of the air keeps us at a disadvantage. They plan on freeing their powerful Elder from Aberrus. Allowing them to accomplish this could result in us permanently forfeiting control of this area. Seek out Field Commander Ignax in the Battlefield Ruins and see what can be done to turn the tide of this battle. We will join you shortly.

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.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • The Obsidian RestZaralek Cavern · Level 36-80

    It is a miracle this outpost survived so long after Neltharion's... disappearance. For weeks now local scouts have reported increased djaradin activity in the area. They are amassing an army, and they are also becoming increasingly aggressive in their efforts to expand their territory.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Blow It UpZaralek Cavern · Level 36-80

    Make no mistake, the djaradin are experienced dragon killers. But right now their ruthless tactics are overshadowed by the devastating power of their battlefield ballistae, capable of taking out any threat from a long distance. I have lost many good soldiers to these potent weapons.
