You can instantly unlock the Obsidian Citadel on an Alt when you reach level 70 if you have done the appropriate quests with your Main, even if your Alt has never done any campaign-quests (e.g., levelled up solely on dungeons).

1. Travel to Obsidian Bulwark (Waking Shores) (/way 42.56, 66.61)
2. In front of the Flight Master there will be a big yellow dragon named Kalendormu.
3. Speak to Kalendormu and choose the option to skip the quests and unlock the end-game content at Obsidian Citadel.
4. You are done.

Although it seems Kalendormu doesn't appear in front of the flight master to offer the skip to alts until the alt is level 68. (Just flew out to Obsidian Bulwark on my 62 priest, and then looked up Kalendormu comments to discover this.) Guess I'm back to chasing Sendrax's ass around until I unlock this the traditional way. :-/

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Blacktalon IntelThe Waking Shores · Level 10-70

    While Selistra and I attracted their eyes above, shadows crept in through their defenses. My agents, the Blacktalon, are keeping an eye and an ear throughout the keep. Meet them and let them know you're on our side. They'll give you some valuable information on our enemies.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Veteran ReinforcementsThe Waking Shores · Level 10-70

    Commander Lethanak was insightful, as always. We will need the help of our most veteran guards to stop their threat. Rallying them was the perfect task for a young cadet like Sendrax, but she may need support.
