To turn in this quest and 'Overwhelming Distraction', you have to run through the courtyard to the steps on the far side of the area. Then run up the steps past a huge amount of mobs and get to the NPC inside a big purple bubble at the far end of the path. I was doing the World Quest 'The Battle Rages On' and had the extra action button that was suppoesd to do the big aoe. It would fade in and out, depending on where I was in Moonfall Overlook and didn't work on all the mobs there. Just fair warning: get some Stonehide Leather Barding run like crazy. I died in the purple bubble, luckily and when I rezzed I was right up on top about 25 feet away from the NPC.

Luckily the last quest you pick up will teleport you out. However, there is a teleporter quest behind the bubble to pick up and turn in all in one. Do that before you get teleported out.

Description

Conjurer Thalerian must be stopped. He immediately sought out my father's private study when he arrived and he has not yet emerged. I worry that he may have found a very dangerous item. It is called the Astromancer's Keystone. It is used to manipulate the stronghold's defenses. Such magic was meant to protect the Moon Guard- used for any other purpose and it becomes unspeakably destructive. Retrieve the Keystone. Slay Conjurer Thalerian to get it, if you must.

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.

  • Starweaver's FateSuramar · Level 45

    I will take these tomes to Thalrenus. There is one thing that weighs heavily on my mind, and I would like for you to attend to it in my stead. My wife and life partner, Syrana Starweaver, resides in the Starweaver's Sanctum across the bridge.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Overwhelming DistractionSuramar · Level 45

    Do you see the Nightborne outside this room? They hold us here, like mice in a cage. It is more convenient for them that we are pinned down while they search the Sanctum for my father's relics. My companions and I can escape to higher ground with some help. Take this crystal.
