Quest completion is between Ohn'ahran Plains and Thaldraszus just on the other side of Valdrakken. There is a new fancy cave looking icon that on my minimap was obscuring it. The way point is:
/way Ohn'ahran Plains 87.16 27.30 Where the Flames Fell

Description

The Aspects have requested our help. As protectors of the Isles and dragonkind, we are more than willing. I must locate Emberthal and ask her to join. I believe I can recruit her to our cause as long as we remain committed to hers against the Sundered Flame in the future. Meet Sabellian and Wrathion at the site of the Incarnates' devastation.

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.

  • A Crack in the WorldValdrakken · Level 36-80

    As you can see, Wrathion and Sabellian are also ready. If the Aspects have news of the Incarnates' actions, then the black dragonflight is prepared to answer the call. Come. They are eager to speak with us.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Scar of Earth and FireZaralek Cavern · Level 10-80

    This centaur practically attacked us upon our arrival. He seems quite protective over this burning pile of ashes. I know you have worked alongside the Shikaar before. Would you speak to him? I would like to confirm what happened here. There is no chance that this is all a coincidence.
