What to do
Description
Our efforts in containing the destruction don't appear to be quite enough. I fear we're going to need aid from beyond the waking world. Twilight cultists inside the Earthshatter Cavern to the east have opened a gateway to a nightmare-infested section of the Emerald Dream. They hold a green dragon prisoner named Thessera there. Go through the nightmare portal and free her. She will be a powerful ally.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- The Wildkin's Oath
Wildkin with Elune. Aroom in your debt now. Aroom help you now. Return to Malfurion, I join you soon.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- The Waking Nightmare
Malfurion's words are true, small one. The rift that threatens to split Darkshore in half also threatens the separation between this world and yours. Let me aid you in any way that I can, lest further rifts between our worlds amplify the destruction taking place in both places.
