I just completed this quest to get the Nether Protector's Chest (same model as the Vanguard Breastplate, only ALOT cheaper than what that is on the AH on my realm at the moment).

Fly to Mok'Nathal village and do a quest from Dertrok.
- The Stones of Vekh'nir. (Dertrok)

Then quests from Leoroxx open up.
-Understanding the Mok'Nathal.
-Since Time Forgotten.
-Slay the Broodmother (which gives the chest piece)

Hope this helps some people :)

Description

My hunters have just returned from a scouting mission to the Singing Ridge. It seems that the nether drakes, which infest the crystals there, have increased greatly in number, and threaten to spill out into our laps. Since you have proven yourself a competent slayer, let us see if your {class} skills are the match of an adult drake. Find the Singing Ridge by heading south through the Scalewing Shelf. Enter and slay their brood mother, Dreadwing.

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.

  • Since Time Forgotten...Blade's Edge Mountains · Level 20-30

    Since time forgotten we have fought with the Bladespire ogres. We have managed to push them back so that now they only hold a tenuous grip at Bladespire Outpost. It's back the way that you came, on the southwestern edge of the Razor Ridge.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • The Totems of My EnemyBlade's Edge Mountains · Level 20-30

    There is the right way to honor one's ancestors, and there is the wrong way. The Bladespire ogres carry totems with them, but they do not use them to show their respect. Instead, they seek to use them to manipulate and control. We should steal their totems because they are unworthy!
