TheWoWDBI was able to pick this breadcrumb quest up after completing Slay the Saboteurs and Urgent Recovery but before picking up Erratic Artifacts. Even though [npc=223166] offers you Erratic Artifacts while you are doing Urgent Recovery, don't pick that quest up before completing Slay the Saboteurs and Urgent Recovery if you wish to complete this breadcrumb quest as well.

When doing the TWW recap, Aethas didn't appear for me until I picked up both Slay the Saboteurs and Urgent Recovery.
You can getShattered Spires on an alt or using party sync. You can skip the intro, there is no need to do that questline.

Description
With nothing to contain their arcane power, Dalaran's spires are crumbling. If we let their energies continue to bleed out unchecked, that power could destabilize and destroy what is left of our forces. Find Aethas! He will know what to do.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Erratic Artifacts
Dalaran housed many precious and powerful relics. Many of them were damaged in the crash and are now malfunctioning. They must be destroyed! Take this scroll. I have stored a shattering spell within it. Read the words aloud and its magic will be unleashed.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Secure the Beach
Queensguard Zirix emerged from the ground and surprised Magni. He's near the farthest edge of the wreckage fighting off his swarm. Moira and I were trying to help, but we couldn't draw them away. Come with me. Magni needs our help!
