Description

If you are finished indulging Ebyssian's associate, I would have us return to more pressing matters. Locating Fyrakk is still our primary mission. We cannot continue to delay it. I have discovered a massive caldera at the western edge of Zaralek. If Fyrakk is still here, then logic dictates that this volcanic area would be his hideout. Meet us there and we will proceed.

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.

    I had not expected to find djaradin here, though it does not surprise me. Legends tell of their elders slumbering beneath the earth. It makes sense that some would delve underground in search of them. Their forces are heavily guarding this outer area.
