I started at the beginning of the canals at /way 69.93 44.43 and worked my way to the north. The Frenzied Elementals have a Thrash move that melee will have to step away from. I also killed Maddened Souls along the bank as I went, they count for the quest objective also.

Eye of the Corrupter is at /way 70.15 28.74.

The Communication Crystal can be reached by the stairs at /way 76.38 30.60, at /way 76.38 29.82, you are confronted by the Image of Queen Azshara once again, RP only. You turn in the quest to Image of Thalyssra here. You pick up two quests from her, Secrets of Telemancy and Speak to the Dead.

Was available after turn in the follower's 3k XP quest.


  1. To Zin-Azshari

  2. Making the Connection - find objectives

  3. Terrors in the Deep - kill enemies

  4. Secrets of Telemancy - click chest and then the button at the wall. Open the box
    Speak with the Dead - talk to [npc=149722]s

  5. The Handmaiden's Tale - kill [npc=152203]

  6. We'll Poke Their Eye Out - return to Newhome

  7. The Tide Turns - talk to [npc=153182]. Kill enemies to fill the bar (be careful, some of them use [spell=303161]). Kill [npc=153019] and klick your action button. Defeat [npc=153468]

Grants the last step for Unfathomable and a new flight point.

New quest available after that: The Eternal Palace: Queen's Gambit - kill Queen Azshara

I got constant whispers from the Eye of the Corruptor while on this quest. I still have the Gift of N'Zoth buff (haven't completed the quest to cleanse it), can anyone confirm if you get these whispers regardless? Always curious what effects this buff has.

Description

Azshara knows we are here. Still, we must press on. Be careful, though. There is a... wrongness coming from the water. It is unlike the magic of old, but more ancient and terrible. Traverse the canals and find the source of corruption. If we are to search Zin-Azshari, we cannot let any relics fall into the hands of even darker powers.

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.

  • Making the ConnectionNazjatar · Level 50

    A communication crystal! Have they survived this long? We used to use these to communicate. They allowed us to project images of ourselves to other nearby crystals to see and speak with those on the other end.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Secrets of TelemancyNazjatar · Level 50

    The nightborne are no strangers to this place. It was once our capital too, long ago. Before the Sundering and erecting the shield over Suramar we used to travel freely to Zin-Azshari. Oculeth had a workshop in these estates.
