If you like me couln't even find the quest (giver) on the platform, but on the (big) map you see quest mark, there is a chance that you accepted "Resisting the Storm" quest but haven't finished it yet. First, you need to be in the future (darker sky) and second - quest giver (Soridormi) gives you this quest but unless you actually click on him you wont be able to see where to get the quest. No "!" quest mark is shown above his head. Hope this helps!

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Making TimeThaldraszus · Level 40-70

    I guess I shouldn't be surprised to find myself here. This is not the Azeroth I wanted, but it's the one I have. We're fighting to preserve what's left and take the world back, but your arrival has caused some trouble.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • To the... Past?Thaldraszus · Level 40-70

    It is regrettable that we could not stabilize Chronormu, but there is another potential location where we may be able to catch her and bring an end to her fall through time. <Nozdormu frowns.> The glimpses of this timeline past are... strange.
