For anyone who thinks this might be bugged - there is a special action button that comes up when you are near the void rifts. I was confused on this part a long time because the action button was clouded by my keys.

I find it funny that to get to Ulduar, you have to fly past WoTLK Dalaran - which shouldn't be there at this point. From Scourge NPCs to this, I really wish they used phasing here
"Tracks. They might belong to our Riftwalker. Let's follow them."
shouldn't tracks be... visible? instead there's just a glowy blob down in the chasm. wouldn't that be better described as a beacon of some kind rather than something that suggests footprints?

Description
I don't often work with the Riftwalkers. I prefer to handle missions alone. Still, I will not abandon one of them. I cannot yet sense the Riftwalker's presence. Our best path forward is to retrace her steps. Which means following the shadows.
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.
- Galakrond's Unrest
Galakrond's Rest. Where the Dark Heart was first empowered by Iridikron. We don't know what power the relic holds, but we do know that the Harbinger now wields it. And now one of our Riftwalkers is missing, right where it all began. I don't believe this is a coincidence, <name>.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Dark Descension
What are these void spawn doing here? Could it be the Harbinger's doing? Some power of the Dark Heart? Well. I do not mean to stand idly by. We must confront the Riftwalker. I don't think she will see reason now, but perhaps she can tell us something.
