Hello? This is Chief Telemancer Oculeth. I see you have emerged safely!
I am locking in your location as we speak. I will need you to activate the beacon on your end so we can establish a teleportation link.
Got it? Good.

Simply click on the portal (the glowing disk on the floor) and you will be returned safely to Shal'Aran.
(This will lead to the quests "Visitor in Shal'Aran" and "Continuing the cure' Continuing the Cure which will start you on the next part of the insurrection achievement "Missing Persons")
The portal in right next to you, on the top. This is new portal instead of Wailing crescent, so dont forget, where it is.

If you by accident hearths away from Nazjatar before the portal is generated - how do you get back?
You go down to the harbourmaster's office in Boralus, talks to Cyrus Crestfall - he will bring you back to Nazjatar :)

These people may be able to hold out here, but I know for certain that we cannot. Every moment we spend here places them in danger of Elisande's forces retaliating against us. We need to move. We need to find a place to regroup and recover. Follow me. I think I know how we can get out of here.

Someone came to Shal'Aran while you were in the City. She asked for you specifically. I did not recognize her face, nor her voice, but she seemed trustworthy and earnest. She is just outside the cavern. Meet with her and determine her purpose for coming here.
Lockdown has 8 steps, from One Day at a Time to Visitor in Shal'Aran.
