Description

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. Once you've done so, use this flare gun to signal a gryphon rider. One will swoop down from the sky to meet you. Tell 'em what you've discovered and they'll give you the next set of orders.

Be aware that if you use the flare gun and the NPC gets attacked, she'll fly away and tell you to contact her when you're at a safe location. You'll have to wait 2 minutes to re-summon her. This means make sure there's no enemy NPCs around when you use it.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • The Main Course!Shadowmoon Valley · Level 25-30

    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.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Breaching the PathShadowmoon Valley · Level 25-30

    We're going to need more time, <race>. I'm going to fly further ahead with some of the other gryphon riders. Hopefully, we can gather some more information. What I need from you now is to clear a path and more importantly, keep their arrows pointed away from us!
