Complete tease. Years of wanting to go inside Uldum, and the doors are finally open - only to be tricked into a loading screen. Hey Blizzard - don't give me the quest to go in there if you don't want me to go in there! They could have at least made it an invisible wall instead of a ninja loading screen...

Description

We are ready to enter the antechamber itself, {name}. This is a momentous occasion. From the writings you've brought us, I believe these ruins were in fact once the grand entrance to Uldum itself. The quakes that ripped its doors open have probably collapsed the tunnels, but we may yet find amazing things hidden within. Search the ruins for anything intact that may be studied. The thrill of discovery awaits!

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.
