Objectives
Go through the Portal to the Maelstrom and speak to Thrall.
Description
Thank the spirits you're here, <name>.
We're not sure how much longer we can maintain the rift in the Maelstrom.
Our most powerful members, led by Thrall, are barely preventing the tear.
Last I heard, our only hope was to go through the breach and attempt to stabilize it from the other side.
I will conjure a portal. Take it and report to Thrall as soon as you can.
Rewards
You will receive: 82
Completion
<Thrall's muscles strain as primal energy flows through him. His eyes shift your way, acknowledging your arrival.>
It is good to see you, <name>.
Notes
The quest-givers can be found in the Cataclysm portal areas set up by the Earthen Ring, either northwest of Stormwind Keep or northeast of the Valley of Wisdom.
This quest may not be available on modern realms without starting a Timewalking Campaign (aka Chromie Time). It may be skipped, as Deepholm can be accessed directly through the portal, and the following quests do not require this introductory sequence.
Progression
This quest starts the Deepholm storyline.
