Description

This Toddy's enthusiasm is admirable. But I hope it does not blind her to the dangers awaiting us in the Dragon Isles. Regardless, the Obsidian Warders are duty-bound to protect the expedition. I must speak with Wrathion and the Lord Commander about the mission ahead. My fellow dracthyr are exploring the city. Seek out Dervishian, my trusted lieutenant, and inform her that we are to rally at the docks. She will relay my orders to the rest.

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.

    The name's Toddy. I'll be headin' up our band of cheery adventurers under the banner of the Dragonscale Expedition. We'll get into the details later. For now, let's focus on gatherin' up our crew. Every expedition worth its salt has a variety of folk.

    Hello, <name>. It's been a while, and I wish we had more time to catch up. But you see, I've just had a rather enlightening... no, make that foreboding... yes, a foreboding conversation with an old friend. Sometimes a revelation can be both, after all. I really must tell you of what I've learned.
