Part of the dialogue spoken during this quest reads:

Princess Tess Greymane says: Good to have a new face at the table! I was getting tired of Tethys's ugly mug... No offense, Tethys.
Fleet Admiral Tethys says: None taken... so long as ye don't insult me face!

If you're not paying attention you might think this a silly response, but if you look closely at the table, you'll see that Tethys has a ... somewhat mundane... mug in front of him.

Description

You walk in the halls of the Uncrowned. We are the slayers of kings, the downfall of empires, the unseen blades that write the true history of this world. Seated before you are the Shadows, the council which aims the blades of the Uncrowned wherever our will demands. We have brought you here today with an offer. Take your seat as the final Shadow and help us lead the Uncrowned. What do you say?

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.

Dalaran Quest turn-in no plotted point

Nearby on the Dalaran map

Quests whose map markers the client places closest to this one on Dalaran, nearest first. Distances are straight lines between the markers.

Getting there

Flight points closest to the quest’s turn-in marker on Dalaran:

  • DalaranAlliance and Horde · about 270 yards east
  • Western SuramarAlliance and Horde · about 1,400 yards north
  • Deliverance Point, Broken ShoreAlliance and Horde · about 1,500 yards south-east

Straight-line distances in yards between the quest’s own map markers (QuestPOI) and the client’s flight-point positions (TaxiNodes); flight paths and terrain are not modelled.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Call of The UncrownedLevel 10-45

    My masters gave me strict instructions to deliver this letter to you as quickly as possible. Its contents are for you and you alone. Good luck.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • A Worthy BladeLevel 10-45

    For quite some time, we've been looking for someone who can operate outside these halls. <name>, you are the answer to that search. You will be the blade in the dark that vanquishes our foes. In order to do so, you require weapons capable of striking down the Legion's best.

The storyline at a glance

The Uncrowned has 14 steps, from Call of The Uncrowned to What Winstone Suggests.

Maps its steps are placed on (steps per map): Dalaran (12), Eastern Plaguelands (2).

Other storylines on the Dalaran map
