Description

I used to visit here before the barrier was raised. While the ruling council and the Grand Magistrix argued and politicked I watched the caretakers perform their rituals and venerate the dead. I would honor the spirits here one last time. I am headed to the tombs. If some of the sacred oils, burial shrouds, or incense survived the ages then bring them to me.

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.

  • Bad IntentionsSuramar · Level 45

    Suramar is lost. Our leaders struck a dark bargain, accepting the Legion as our allies. We were meant to be heroes, guardians - the people resting here. We are not like them any more. I cannot live with them. But cut off from the Nightwell, we wither and devolve into a mindless existence.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • The Last ChapterSuramar · Level 45

    The next step of my journey requires a tome, but I find that I am still unable to idly sit by as this place continues to fall into disrepair. I will tidy up the memorials while you go fetch me the tome. It is called the Encyclopedia Botanica and you can find it in the library near the main plaza.
