Description

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. Grab a few for Zen'tabra and me, will you? She deserves the full experience.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Timear Foresees a Proof of Demise!Arcantina · Level 83-90

    Hello, <name>. Do you have a moment? There's something important I lost during the assault on the Isle of Thunder: a pocket watch gifted to me by my old friend, Archmage Timear. Yes, that Timear... the one that can foresee the future. He told me this day would come and that you would assist me.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Uncrowned's Cold CaseArcantina · Level 83-90

    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.
