Description

The Ankoan must contend with threats from not only the naga, but also the horrors of N'Zoth. We learned early that if we allow his infection even the smallest purchase, he will grow and corrupt everything. There is a great evil who is lingering near the waterway that flows through this place. It must be dealt with.

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.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • The Javelins of AzsharaNazjatar · Level 50

    These spirits keep speaking of the Javelins of Azshara. At first, I believed it to be referring to the handmaidens, who are currently holed up in Elun'alor. But -- now I think they are referring to the Javelins of Suramar. They were powerful weapons -- long thought lost.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • The Spear of DestinyNazjatar · Level 50

    The Javelins are some of the most powerful magical creations of Suramar, before the Sundering. This is just what we need to bring down the wards on the protector and the Tidestone. We must hurry back to Mezzamere, Lady Proudmoore needs to know of our success.
