Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Arcane ThirstSuramar · Level 45

    My people have subsisted on the Nightwell for millennia. Ancient mana is our lifeblood - without it, we become... well, you saw them out there. <Thalyssra holds her flask aloft, gently shaking free the last precious drops.> I'm afraid I have been rather reckless today.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Ancient ManaSuramar · Level 45

    Without the Nightwell to feed upon, my comrades and I will have to live off the land itself. Ancient mana from the underground leylines can reach the surface in many forms, most commonly as crystals or gems.

The storyline at a glance

Nightfall has 9 steps, from Khadgar's Discovery to Ancient Mana.
