Notes

Scalecommander Emberthal offers a skip for alts who have already done the Forbidden Reach storyline.

 I know my way around. <Skip campaign quests, forfeit their rewards, and continue adventuring the Forbidden Reach.>

• This will allow players to jump to  [70] Return to Viridia, and will forfeit the following:
  • 1550 [Elemental Overflow]
  • 1575 Valdrakken Accord reputation
  • 1725 Dark Talons (Horde) or Obsidian Warders (Alliance) reputation.

On accept:

Damos flies in.

Scalecommander Emberthal says: Well met, Damos. It's good to see an old friend.

Talon Damos says: It's an honor to serve by your side once again, Scalecommander.

Scalecommander Emberthal says: Talon Damos will be my second-in-command for this mission. He's a fine soldier. One of the best.

Speak with Damos:

Good to see you, soldier. Up for a game of dice to pass the time?

First things first. We've got to go on patrol.

•  Why are you helping Emberthal?

Good soldiers are hard to come by. Good commanders? Even more so. I'd follow Emberthal into any fight. And I'm ready for the next one.

Plus, I've had my fun taking an... extended leave of absence in Valdrakken. I'm itching for some action.

Old habits die hard, I suppose.

•  (Quest) Let's fly.

Talon Damos says: We're going back into the Reach. That place was our prison for ten thousand years. It's time we made it our home.

Talon Damos says: Talons! To the skies!

The talons nearby walk up and fly away with Damos.

Head to the Lost Atheneum to catch up with them.
