What to do
Description
Long story short, I used to work with a blood elf named Tiorus. My partnership with Tiorus dissolved once I got into gourmet living. He decided to take it upon himself to continue our research using MY inventions. Anyhow, he had some of his Horde goons using my arcano-scorp probes at the Ruins of Baa'ri lava flow and discovered the mother of all diemetradons! I need you to get there before he does and kill the diemetradon, Felspine, and bring his hide back to me. Hurry up!

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- The Second Course...
I remember seeing larger diemetradons east of the Hand of Gul'dan, near the lava flows around the Ruins of Baa'ri. What I want you to get for me now is one overdeveloped felfire gizzard from the beasts around that area. You might have to kill several to find a gizzard like the one I described.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- The Path of Conquest
My gryphon riders have come back with a bit of news! The Eclipsion blood elves are planning something big. They've begun forming their armies at the Path of Conquest, located east of here - adjacent to Eclipse Point. I want you to travel to the Path of Conquest and assess the situation.
