• 
  
• Setheria's Brood
• 
  
• A Gap in Their Armor and Disassembly

Finish the above for

Last Stand at Whistling Grove

Smashing Through Ashes enables additional required quests:

• Firebreak and Prepping the Soil

Fresh Bait
Hell's Shells
Tortolla Speaks
An Ancient Awakens [Vision after all chains].

After waking all the ancients, the third vision of Ysera gives The Last Living Lorekeepe

This, like many of the phased area quests is still buggy. Sometimes you'll enter the area only to see the harpies vanish before your eyes. It took several tries to get in to the right phase and even then I ended up being one short and having to search forever to find it.
