What to do
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 this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Where the Fire Once Burned
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 Heritage
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?
