There's a buff on you when you pick up "Azeroth" to move it, called "Weight of the World", and the flavor text reads "usually more of a metaphor." So good.

"Coveting this aptly-named "Azerite", the Alliance and Horde sounded the horns of war! Again!"
"Ysera sighs in disappointment."
A better re-enactment of my exact reaction to BfA could not be better portrayed...

”Ysera shakes her head” is a whole mood.

Description

It's time for the next act of your theatrical introduction: the Grand Drama Of Azereth! Azeroth. Right. All these worlds are hard to tell apart. Help set the stage, then come back here. You'll need to play a few other characters before you appear as yourself again. Get a move on! We have a lot to cover!

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.
