Description

My time in the pearl pits, however short, has made me curious about the naga's goals. Yes, I now know that the naga want to use Nespirah as an engine of war, but if that's the case, then why are they enslaving men to mine her pearls? Assuming we escape this creature's hull, I would very much like to study these objects. The pearls we found in the pits were much too large to carry, but I've seen the warlords and prophets occasionally carrying around smaller ones.

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.

  • Body BlowsShimmering Expanse · Level 30-35

    <Legionnaire Nazgrim listens intently to your recount of Duarn and Nespirah's conversation.> I see. So the creature wants our help waking it up, is that it? With hundreds of slaves already picking away at her pearls, the beast seems to be a pretty heavy sleeper. You might have better luck, though.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Overseer Idra'kessShimmering Expanse · Level 30-35

    My men are flagging, <name>. We won't last much longer against these naga, I'm afraid. With the Idra'kess' weapons, and Nespirah's pearls, we should be ready to bust out of here. Follow the wall northeast, and look for a ramp to the upper chamber.
