Steady Hand

Steady Hand is a quest for level 30-35 in Deepholm. It is step 21 of 44 in the Deepholm, The Stone Throne storyline. The quest's turn-in marker is in Deepholm at 39.8, 18.9. It rewards 1 reputation reward, 1,200 experience and money.

Description

Nearby to the north, you will find Terrath the Steady. He has taken upon the task of pulling the stone dragons back into the fold. We find ourselves repeating this trial every few hundred years... the stone dragons are fickle, and bend only to strength.

Terrath is balanced and reasonable, but his goals may not be easily accomplished. Go to him. Appeal to the more balanced side of the Stonemother.

Where to go

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Rock BottomDeepholm · Level 30-35

    I've one more favor to ask, fleshling. There is a basilisk, much larger and much older than the rest. Though we normally fear nothing from their kind, this one has become so potent as to petrify some of my sons. This shall not be abided. Find Gorgonite to the east and slay him.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Don't. Stop. Moving.Deepholm · Level 30-35

    When Deathwing came, the Stone Dragons flocked to him. In his absence, they are again without purpose. They swarm and feed upon our kin. I have bound dozens of Opalescent Guardians, but am unable to lead them from the safety of cover. I need someone more swift, as I suspect you might be.
