Description

High up in the cliffs above me there is a large crystal pylon. Who placed it there, I cannot say, nor can I determine any reason that it would be built in such a strange place.

Maybe you can make more of it than I can. I personally don't care what it does, so you needn't report back to me, but perhaps one of the scholars in Marshal's Stand might be interested in what you discover.

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.

  • Aberrant FloraUn'Goro Crater · Level 15-30

    Look how strangely the plant life reacts to the bloodpetals in the Roiling Gardens to the north. The trees are enveloped with more flowers and vines than usual. Large, sporous blossoms project themselves from the ground where they once did not. The land is speaking to us, <race>.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Roll the BonesUn'Goro Crater · Level 15-30

    You'd think that being chief digger for Marshal Expeditions means I like digging. There might be worse things to do in this world... but none really leap to mind. We were supposed to be digging in Terror Run - FANTASTIC name by the way - for dead stegodons and diemetradons.
