TheWoWDBIf you're like me, and you've been trying to find the location of the Forge of Bonds so you can learn some ability you got from one of the shadowlands raids, just go to whatever covenant you're part of and you'll find a forge there. There's a forge in every covenants area, but I assume you can only use the one you're actively "aligned" with. Hope this saves someone some time.

Description
{name}, are you ready for another gift? The next boon we grant thee is one of bonds. As you have bound yourself to us, we shall bind to you. In the binding of souls, we become something greater. <Moonberry leans in close.> Sounds scary, huh? Don't worry! You and your soulbind will both strengthen each other. When I asked for volunteers, many fae stepped forward. I picked someone I just know you're going to like. And this will be a boon for her, too. Go to Flutterby. She'll help you both.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- The First New Growth
Long have we lain dormant. With souls, with anima, we grow once more. A choice now awaits. How shall we grow? You may decide which flower blooms first. In time, with more anima and willing souls, the whole garden will prosper. For now, a single blossom signals hope for the future.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- The Boon of Binding
<Flutterby clasps her hands before her and assumes an air of tranquility.> Soulbinding is not an irrevocable act. However, such a bond must be carefully considered before it is made. You and your soulbind will know each other's hearts and minds.
