Thunder on the Sands

Thunder on the Sands is a quest for level 10-45. It is step 3 of 4 in The Fists of the Heavens storyline. The quest's turn-in marker is in Uldum at 54.9, 32.7. It rewards 6,150 experience and money.

Description

I know the tale of Irmaat well. It is said that his home was the ancient city of Ahmtul, long buried under the desert sands.

Recently a strange storm has appeared over the ruins. What's more, I am told that an elemental called Nader has attacked my people in nearby lands.

These events must be related.

Find this Nader and put an end to him. Make sure to search his body for clues as to what is behind this.

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.

  • Off To Adventure!Level 10-45

    Oh I'd love to go see if that story is true! But Pops is too busy stuffing his gut and being a grouch to let me go do any real exploring. He even told me that I can't leave the village unless I have a guardian! Is Pops for real? I can protect myself just fine! Say, would you be my guardian?

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Into The HeavensLevel 10-45

    This stone is saturated with elemental power, possibly the remnant of the magic used against Irmaat! If you went outside and held the stone aloft, it should unleash the stone's essence as a mighty whirlwind. So potent a windstorm could carry you and your companion all the way to Skywall!
