Description

Welcome to Stormwind, {race}. I invite you to explore our fair city. Say, you look like someone who appreciates fine stonework! We have many impressive stone buildings and walls. Ah, but that can wait, a bronze dragon has asked to talk to you. She is sitting under the nearby tree, on an hourglass of all things! After that, an emissary of yours is waiting to welcome you to the city. Sounds like a busy day for you! Have a pleasant stay, {name}!

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.
