Ok folks.. Let me bring some reality checks for everyone who takes this quest truly understands the lore/insight on how truly long it is and how the "Entire" chain begins and ends. I noticed the link and some though GREAT input on the chains but there not the entire chains accordingly. They leave out where its supposed to be picked up, and in truth most of the time you "cannot" pick up the quest due to not doing the prior quest chains so if your on this quest below is what you may want to do or of course quit at any moment. But the story doesn't end here clearly.
Quest chain 1 (8 Parts) : (this one of course)
Horde: The Hand of Gul'dan
Alliance: The Hand of Gul'dan
Enraged Spirits of Fire and Earth
Enraged Spirits of Water
Enraged Spirits of Air
Oronok Torn-heart
I Was A Lot Of Things...
A Lesson Learned
The Cipher of Damnation - Truth and HistoryThen as mentioned before there are the 3 quest in any order but MUST be completed in order to proceed to the next chain

The Cipher of Damnation - The Third Fragment RecoveredNow mind you "MUST" complete the above 3 Parts & also turn them into Oronok before carrying forward.
1 Quest
The Cipher of DamnationNow also as mentioned before you will get a letter in the mail from
Khadgar to go to Shattrath and speak with A'Dal.This has unlocked your future chains not mentioned linking them together is what I think people should understand the can of worms your about to open:
(4 Part Chain)
4 Trials total however only 3 can be accepted at first. They are 3 seperate quest given all at once so you can carry all 3 and complete and run back to turn in all together. The 4th is after the original 3 are completed.
The first 3 are:
Trial of the Naaru: Tenacity (HEROIC MODE) - Arcatraz of Tempest Keep. - Note: Here your saving the mage who will be friendly but you kill this boss: Harbinger Skyriss
Trial of the Naaru: Strength (HEROIC MODE) - Warlord Kalithresh (Steamvault) & Murmur (Shadow Labyrinth) in any order but both in Heroic Modes.
Trial of the Naaru: Mercy (HEROIC MODE) - Shattered Hand Executioner (Shattered Halls of Hellfire Citadel)Now before we get to the fourth part do note after completing the initial 3 there is a mini chain the unlocks and continues on. You can have both the 4th trial and this chain at the same time:
Trial of the Naaru: Magtheridon (Raid) - Magtheridon
(2 Part Chain)
The Mark of Vashj - You talk to: Skar'this the Heretic (He is only found in Heroic Mode and is after the first boss) in The Slave Pens (Heroic Mode)
The Cudgel of Kar'desh
- Gruul the Dragonkiller (Gruul's Lair) & Nightbane (Karazhan)
Do note they can be completed in any order for the 2 dungeons on the last part of this quest chain.That is all folks.
Quest Grand Total: 31
Heroic Dungeons: 5 (Slave Pens twice so technically 6)
Gold rewards/Items/Reputation and Experience gained I didn't do the math on sorry.
Normal Difficulty Dungeons: 0Now there is a much longer chain in Ironforge but we wont go there.

Quest

*** The Champion of the Naaru title is still available post 3.0.x ***
There are two versions of both T5 attunement quests, the Cudgel of Kardesh and Trial of the Naaru: Magtheridon.
If you wish to get the title, you must turn in both the old versions of the quests. They are still around, but you need someone to share them with you, as the quest NPC will obviously give you the new version of the quest.
Trial of the Naaru: Magtheridon - Old, New
Cudgel of Kar'desh - Old, NewI just missed my title on my main by handing in the wrong version of the Magtheridon quest, hope this helps some people.
For those unsure, this is the NEW version of the quest, handing in this means no title.
If you click the red [Link] button up to the right, and link it ingame, it will either say "You are on this quest", in green text, or not. If you are on the Magtheridon quest, and it does not say that you are on this one, gratz, you have the old one.
