Scouting the Breach

Scouting the Breach is a quest for level 45 in Suramar. It is step 5 of 6 in the Elisande's Retort storyline. The quest's turn-in marker is in Suramar at 44.1, 58.5. It rewards 1 reward item, 1 reputation reward, 6,150 experience and money.

Description

If Ly'leth's information is accurate, there is a breach in the Sanctum of Order that could be our only way into the Nighthold.

No doubt they have magically sealed it - take Valtrois and protect her while she examines the seal. She is an exceptional talent, and I have total faith in her ability to break whatever enchantment they have cooked up.

Valtrois has her own methods of getting into the city and will meet you inside the Sanctum of Order.

When you passed through Sanctum of Order Teleporter, find Valtrois behind The Arcway meeting stone (turn right as run out teleport and you'll see it). Have a talk, then make your way through broken wall and turn right, follow the stairs down, there you'll see a magic barrier, that covered the passage. Valtrois also will appear and examines the barrier.

it doesn't mark it on your map, but take the portal to the sanctum of order, then she'll be standing in a corner by the summon stone for arcway.

Bugs out if you port (arena, pet battle, dungeon) instead of waiting for Valtrois to spawn. Drop it and take it again, will only be a minute or two.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

Those Scrying EyesSuramar · Level 45
Until recently, Ly'leth was sending magical messages to us regularly from within the Nighthold. She took care to hide these messages - only the most vigilant scryers could have detected them. They could not be within the palace... too much interference from the Nightwell... Of course!

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

The Seal's PowerSuramar · Level 45
The Nightwell is so overloaded that they could not spare anything for this seal. Instead, they are borrowing power from the ley lines. I have traced one of their power sources to Kel'balor. We should head there immediately so I can determine how best to disable this barrier.
