"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 UnrestLevel 70

    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 DescensionLevel 70

    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.
