The Pylon Fragment is in DM West. It's next to Tendris Warpwood

When you return to the Arcantina, the place to put the shard is in the room with Khadgar. It's not the same room as the place you got the quest.

Description

We are lucky the Uncrowned survived, and its archives, thanks to Taoshi. We've been reading them... Have you heard of the great highborne city Dire Maul? The Uncrowned kept tabs on the dangerous prince, Tortheldrin, but since he died, the case was shelved. These notes say there might be objects of interest in the city ruins, with a notable mention of Nostro's Compendium of Dragon Slaying. That book was retrieved some time ago, but few know that several chapters were missing. Let's reopen the case.

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.

  • Where the Fire Once BurnedArcantina · Level 83-90

    Hard to believe, isn't it? Horde and Alliance, same room, no stabbing. I was reminiscing about my days in the Firelands, gathering luciferns. They had such a distinctive smell... somewhere between smoke and something long dead. It's been a while, and I almost miss it.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Hellscream's HeritageArcantina · Level 83-90

    My sister Krenna was once a Conqueror in the Horde's armies. Ruthless. Brutal. Some said a tyrant. But she was different when we were young. Scared, but always kind to me. Warm to those she would let in. Did power change her?
