TheWoWDBIf you can't find the pathway up to the cave, try finding a tree at 71,41 and then face the hills. There will be your path up to the cave. Watch out for kobold hiding behind bushes and ambushing you. There are plenty of kobold outside in the hills if you can't find enough in the caves.

Wow, the drop rate in this quest sucked. If I wanted to grind I'd grind, instead I'm questing, maybe someone should fix this.
Old school RNG!

Description
My name is Myzrael. I am a princess of the earth, and my captors, the giants, have trapped me deep beneath the Arathi Highlands. These crystal shards are the only way I can speak with the surface world. Please help me. Allies of the giants, the Drywhisker kobolds, have a shard like this one in their Drywhisker Gorge, to the east. To power the cluster, you must gather motes of Myzrael from the kobolds and apply them to it. I beg you, {name}, aid me!

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Guile of the Raptor
The highland fleshstalkers to the south are even fiercer than the others of their kind. They possess not just strength, but true cunning. When I was trapped by lethargy, even the amulets of strength failed to move me.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Stones of Binding
Four Stones of Binding are scattered throughout Arathi. These stones keep me pinned beneath the earth. To unlock them you must unlock the strongest: the Stone of Inner Binding. And to do that, you must gather keys from the other three.
