What to do
Description
Many nightborne had pinned their hopes on Thalyssra deposing the Grand Magistrix. Since she disappeared, dissenting voices have grown silent. We must spread the word, discreetly, among the populace. Ly'leth Lunastre will be a perfect ally in this. She is a socialite with many connections, and she is no friend of the Legion. Ly'leth hosts a masquerade party at her estate where rumors are traded like coin - and brandished like daggers. Let us invite ourselves in.

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.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Sympathizers Among the Shal'dorei
Elisande's decision to welcome the Legion into Suramar earned her plenty of enemies, though only some of us were bold enough to openly defy her. We have allies in the city - we just don't know how many. I need you to make contact with a spell-fencer by the name of Silgryn.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Blood of My Blood
As my darling brother has demonstrated, Elisande's decision to bring down the shield has sown unrest among the nightborne. Loyalists and demons march together in the streets. Fear and distrust grip our hearts. Family turns against family.
