What to do
StorylineThe Ebon Scales, step 1 of 7
Rewards12g 87s, 4,100 XP
Description
Dervishian's report is troubling. An enemy force calling themselves the Primalists have invaded Stormsunder Crater, pinning the Ebon Scales down at the Siege Creche. These intruders are summoning violent elementals and recruiting the vicious tarasek to their cause. Azurathel will need your help at the crater. By wing or by talon, save our people. Once the Ebon Scales are safe, ask their commander to rendezvous with me. Be warned. Sarkareth can be... prickly.

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.

After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Cavalry Has Its Place
Evoker! This place still has herds of vorquin! I managed to round a few up that could be used as mounts for when your wings are tired. Remember how to ride? This one is to be issued to you as the scalecommanders are ordering you all over the place. Please take good care of it.
