Description

I was having a friendly discussion with the Aldor while you were gone. Manaforges sure look like modified naaru technology from Tempest Keep. Apparently, most naaru constructs have certain safeguards that allow them to be permanently disabled in case of emergency. The procedure is usually initiated at a control console via an access crystal. Lo and behold, according to the roster you secured, such a crystal is in the possession of a fellow called Overseer Theredis. Obtain it and see what you can do.

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.

  • High Value TargetsNetherstorm · Level 25-30

    Based on the roster information, we know that the brains of the manaforge operations are the warp-masters and warp-engineers. It is they who oversee the retrieval of a so called "warp-energy" by the manaforge and its delivery to a remote destination via a system of underground pipes.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Stealth FlightNetherstorm · Level 25-30

    While you were gone, my men uncovered another one of these manaforges. It is east of here and is known as Manaforge Coruu. Two of my best spies have arranged a secret landing spot outside of the manaforge. You are to help them infiltrate Kael's forces and obtain whatever information you can.
