Rewards1g 37s 40c, 600 XP

Description

{name}! Choluna spoke true: the goddess has returned! A miracle in our midst. While you were able to kill the twilight dragon Sethria, we have not yet located all of the eggs that the harpies had delivered to her. Thisalee and I have tracked them to a great hatchery constructed within the Firelands. It is not of this realm, so Aviana cannot accompany you. Fly south and enter the flamegate in the center of the valley. Farden Talonshrike has been sent ahead and will be waiting for you within.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • An Ancient RebornMount Hyjal · Level 30-35

    I'm convinced that YOU are the herald of Aviana, <name>. It was you who first saw her and rescued her essence from the claws of a dragon. Yes, I believe Aviana is to be reborn into our world. And you shall have the honor of ushering her over the threshold.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Flight in the FirelandsMount Hyjal · Level 30-35

    <name>, our enemy is using this grotto in the Firelands to prepare an invasion. We're going to hit them hard right where they live. But first, you'll need to get your wings. Flight in the Firelands does not work as it does in the outside world. Something about the dense, superheated air.
