Objectives

Race through time, following Chromie and Eternus's Path.

  • Race Through Time

Description

<Name>, we must act quickly to catch up to Ambassador Chronormu, and I mean that quite literally.

Zera and I will do what we can to speed our progress, but it is imperative we avoid entangling with this time period as much as possible. To do so will slow us down and we may not be able to catch the Ambassador before she is lost to even Nozdormu's magic.

We haven't a moment to lose!

(Accepting this quest will begin a timer)

Rewards

You will receive:

Completion

By the Aspects... This is the Black Empire!

Notes

On accept:

Andantenormu says: Zera and I will do what we can to speed our path through.

As the quest text warns, this brings back an old classic, a timed quest. Players have 3 minutes 10 seconds to get to the end.

Don't mount up, as there are speed boots along the way. Each boot provides a stacking runspeed buff:

Petbattle speed.png Temporal Acceleration — Increases the movement speed of the caster by 50% for 5 sec. 5 sec duration. Stacks 10 times

Steer clear of the swirlies and any combatants. Race along the path to Stormwind, but just before reaching it, the time portal sends players 1,000 years back in time to the War of the Shifting Sands!

Temporal distortion stuns you!
Siaszerathel says: Where are we?
Andantenormu says: The War of the Shifting Sands.
Andantenormu says: Take care to avoid the combatants.

The stun will reset the buff stack. Keep clear of the Savage Wasps fighting Kaldorei Defenders and follow the path south of Cenarion Hold to the Gates of Ahn'Qiraj. The next time warp sends players back to the Pandaren Revolution:

Temporal distortion stuns you!
Andantenormu says: The Pandaren Revolution!
Siaszerathel says: I read about this! Those Mogu were vicious!
Siaszerathel says: Go Pandaren! Kick their a--
Andantenormu says: Zera--
Siaszerathel says: a-authoritarian regime to the curb!

Players land in the Vale of Eternal Blossoms. Keep following the road west toward the Gate of the Setting Sun to make it to the final time portal, to the Black Empire! An in-engine cutscene plays:

The adventurer, Dante, and Zera fall out of the portal.
Siaszerathel says: Ummm... Where are we?
Siaszerathel says: Is this even Azeroth?
The camera tracks forward and upward to show a tentacle of an Old God in the distance and Ragnaros fighting Mythrax.
Andantenormu says: It is Azeroth.
Andantenormu says: Though, an exceptionally long time ago.
Siaszerathel says: We should find Chromie and get out of here.
Siaszerathel says: This place is scary.
An ominous voice laughs.

Players pop out in Ny'alotha, the Waking City in the central lava area. Also present are Al'Akir, Therazane, and untold Aqir, air, fire, and water elementals.

While in the zone, Old Gods will constantly whisper the player, including:

  • Piercing Presence whispers: All of your friends are dead.
  • Maddening Presence whispers: All that you know will fade.
  • Maddening Presence whispers: Hope is an illusion.
  • Piercing Presence whispers: No one is coming to save you.
  • Maddening Presence whispers: Trust is your weakness.
  • Piercing Presence whispers: You cannot succeed. Your cause is hopeless.
  • Piercing Presence whispers: You have already lost.
  • Maddening Presence whispers: You will be alone in the end.
  • Observing Presence whispers: You will betray your friends.
  • Observing Presence whispers: You will die.
  • Piercing Presence whispers: Your allies will leave you behind.
  • Observing Presence whispers: Your courage will fail.
  • Observing Presence whispers: Your friends will abandon you.

Should players fail or abandon the quest, they will get warped back to the start of the footrace at the Gnoll War. Andantenormu offers a skip on failure:

We were close that time. I might be able to reach Ambassador Chronormu with my magic.
Gossip Try reach Chromie with your magic. <Skip ahead in the campaign chapter to where Chromie is.>
