Description

This centaur practically attacked us upon our arrival. He seems quite protective over this burning pile of ashes. I know you have worked alongside the Shikaar before. Would you speak to him? I would like to confirm what happened here. There is no chance that this is all a coincidence. If it connects to the Incarnates at all, we must learn all we can.

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.

  • Where the Flames FellOhn'ahran Plains · Level 10-80

    The Aspects have requested our help. As protectors of the Isles and dragonkind, we are more than willing. I must locate Emberthal and ask her to join. I believe I can recruit her to our cause as long as we remain committed to hers against the Sundered Flame in the future.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • The Patience of PrincesZaralek Cavern · Level 36-80

    The centaur's report of Primalist forces pushing into the underground after Fyrakk changes the situation. Wrathion and I believe it would be a tactical mistake to dawdle here any longer, waiting for Ebyssian and his devotee to arrive. We still wish for you to join us.
