Description

The relics are ours... as it was meant to be. There is but one more step needed for the great truths to be revealed. The naga sought to summon their storm from a place that echoes with ancient power. Though this site has had countless names over the ages, you mortals know it as the Precipice of Oblivion. I will go on ahead and begin preparations. Join me there.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • The Tempest CrownLevel 50

    <Xal'atath breathes in deeply and smiles.> My strength grows. I can see it clearly now... the third relic we seek. The crown known as Tempest Caller. How fitting that after the fall of Atal'Gral, the gluttonous Toatana would be the one to find the artifact.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • His Eye Upon YouLevel 50

    Something dark has taken root within you, <name>. The tendrils of N'Zoth are burrowing into your mind and soul, eager to consume everything you are. I can perform a rite of cleansing, but only in a place that resonates with the very power that grips you. Meet me near the Crucible of Storms.
