What to do
Description
There are many new mysteries walking the lands now. One of our sages, Highmesa, has foolishly gone north with only one longrunner to investigate something strange near the Dens of Dying. What are the dens, you ask? They are a sacred place to the magnataur, where they go in their old age to die. She saw something fall from the sky near them a few days ago. If you would be friend to the taunka, I would have you find and help her. She is not so stubborn that she will not accept your aid.
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 Collapse
I have created and bound Alluvius using the Horn of Elemental Fury. He will respond to the horn's call when you stand near the southernmost sinkhole in the Geyser Fields. The quake Alluvius will unleash should collapse the Nerubian tunnels and put an end to their flanking attack.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- A Proper Death
The magnataur at the Dens of Dying have contracted a plague. We must find the cause, but first we must put them out of their misery. <race>, you must go north onto the slopes in front of us and destroy as many of the poor creatures as you can.
