Objectives
Deliver the Scalecommander's orders to Kodethi and the Dark Talons.
- Orders delivered to Kodethi
- Meet Naleidea at the zeppelin tower outside Orgrimmar.
Description
- Non-dracthyr
Naleidea is enthusiastic, but she's a historian, not a soldier. She knows nothing of the dangers we'll face in the Dragon Isles.
Not that anyone needs to worry. After all, the Dark Talons will be protecting the expedition.
I'm going to discuss mission logistics with Ebyssian and your Horde leaders.
My lieutenant, Kodethi, is exploring the city along with the other dracthyr. Be a good soldier and let him know we are going to rally at the zeppelin tower. He'll relay my orders to the others.
- Dracthyr
Naleidea seems enthusiastic, but she's a historian, not a soldier like us. She knows nothing of the dangers we will face in the Dragon Isles.
Not that the Horde needs to worry. After all, we Dark Talons will be protecting the expedition.
I'm going to discuss mission logistics with Ebyssian and these Horde leaders.
Kodethi is exploring the city along with the others. Tell him to rally at the zeppelin tower. I'll meet you there.
Rewards
You will receive:
- 25 74
- XP
Progress
Do you suspect that a dracthyr could outpace a boat over the entire trip to the Dragon Isles? Exhaustion would take its toll, surely?
Completion
I am pleased to have the dracthyr accompanying us on the expedition.
Their unique perspective should prove valuable, and learning more of their own history will help them come to terms with their current circumstances.
As I've said before, history heals every wound.
Notes
During the Tempest Unleashed event, this quest was available at level 10.
At the Gates of Orgrimmar, Kodethi is overseeing the training of Dracthyr Evokers, while several Orgrimmar Grunts cheer at them.
- Welcome to our makeshift training arena, friend.
- I trust we are not disturbing anyone up here? I was assured that this area was available today and that sparring was permitted.
Scalecommander Cindrethresh would like you to meet her at the zeppelin tower.
- Kodethi says: The odds favor us!
- Kodethi and the trainees fly toward the zeppelin tower.
- Approaching Naleidea
- Naleidea Rivergleam says: You made quick work of gathering our expedition members. I admire efficiency in my traveling companions.
- Upon completion
- A mage portal suddenly appears near Ebyssian, and Archmage Khadgar jumps out of it.
- Naleidea Rivergleam says: A surprise attack! Guards! Arrest this handsome wizard!
- Ebyssian says: Be at ease. He is an ally.
- Archmage Khadgar says: Apologies for my abrupt arrival. But the news I bring cannot wait for pleasantries.
