Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Egg HuntMount Hyjal · Level 30-35

    Skylord Omnuron wants us to find Aviana's Egg, and I can almost guarantee you it's cloaked by one of Sethria's shadow devices. Search around the camp for shadow cloak generators and shut those things down until you find the egg. Once you've unveiled it, I'll call out to the other druids.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Sethria's DemiseMount Hyjal · Level 30-35

    While you've been raiding Sethria's nest, messages have been flying back and forth between here and the shrine. Skylord Omnuron was at first reluctant, but I've persuaded my fellow druids to risk a direct assault on Sethria herself. Everyone agreed to my plan... provided YOU spearhead the attack.
