TheWoWDBI'm loving Astalor's voice actor & dialogue this expac. He's still quite suspicious, but I'm intrigued. Love that his lore that goes back to WoD and before.

To 'Submit to Astalor's ritual', just stand in the middle of the room and click your extra action button.
For some reason, my button was hidden under my bars, so I got confused about how to do it.
Astalor Bloodsworn says: "Just as Silvermoon was not rebuilt in a day, so too will the consequences of our work here unfold over the years to come. They might not be fully felt today, or tomorrow...but when they are, all of Azeroth will come to fear the might and determination of the blood elves."
I feel like I'm being coerced into some sort of secret plot to end the world again in a couple of xpacs... xD

Description
I heard word of your heroics in the garden. Silvermoon thanks you for quelling the chaos. And I thank you for recovering so much anguish. The crystalline vessel may be the conduit, but the body must be robust to handle so much power... Like me, you have the strength to withstand the torrent of anguish inside you, at least for a short while. Come, let me relieve you of the burden.

<name>... I need you to attend to a matter in the city. I've received word from Knight Captain Solara that there's been an incident in the Gardens of Remembrance. She reports elves have begun acting out violently, causing coalesced anguish to manifest and terrorize the residents.
