so currently on beta (build 27075) there's no follow up quest for some people (it's meant to chain to Storm's End ), beta players are speculating you have to do stormsong first otherwise it doesn't trigger.

edit: ok we're about a week from go live, beta build 27291, I've done this zone 7 times now. I've confirmed that a) it's not class locked (2/7 success was on a druid) b) it totally phases correctly if you do SS first and c) it totally phases correctly if you start but don't complete Drustvar and skip over to SS

as I originally said I'm sure Blizzard will fix it (and they might have fixed it) since it's a pretty big deal but yea FYI if you hand in the quest and are left sitting wondering wtf is going on

Description

Beyond this gate lies Lord Stormsong... and our retribution. It seems he has sealed it tight, likely to buy himself time to finish whatever foul ritual awaits us. Release the souls within the Dead Ringer when you are ready. I will direct them into the binding holding the gate shut. From there, we find Stormsong and end this once and for all.

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.

  • Sealed FateStormsong Valley · Level 30-60

    Three wards ahead threaten to block our entry into the Shrine. We call them the Tidemother's Wrath, Radiance, and Pride. Legends say the wards were gifts from the sea itself. They once protected our flagships against even the fiercest storms.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Storm's EndStormsong Valley · Level 30-60

    I've no doubt he can feel our presence, but so long as Lord Stormsong maintains his spell the first move is ours. We have him surrounded, cornered like the rat he is. We must end this together.

The storyline at a glance

A House in Peril has 43 steps, from The Missing Fleet to A New Dawn.
