Where should we meet this Veritistrasz of yours?
Ruby Lifeshrine? Are you sure this is not an attempt to introduce me to Alexstrasza?
No? Well then! I shall meet you at the Ruby Lifeshrine!
Rewards
You will receive:
- 28 9
- 9,500 XP
Progress
Let us hope this is something exciting!
Completion
Well, that is a bit of a disappointment.
I suppose an old egg-tending device is some form of culture, even if it is not very exciting.
If you find something else of interest in the vaults, I would be interested in looking at it.
Notes
On accept:
- Voraxian says: I will meet you at the Ruby Lifeshrine. Please be swift, I do not want to be there long.
- Voraxian walks off.
Head back to the Ruby Lifeshrine and get to Veritistrasz's usual spot overlooking the valley to the north. Voraxian is already there, but Veritistrasz is not:
- Voraxian says: Do not mind me friends. Nothing to see here. I grew up in Outland, and I was not involved in any Deathwing related activities.
- Voraxian says: I do not see your friend here. I will leave and catch up once you find out where they went.
- Voraxian shifts to his drake form and flies off.
Speak with Tzurok near Haephesta and Vaknai, the flight master:
- Pleasant day to you.
(Quest) <Ask where Veritistrasz is>- Tzurok says: The old dragon who sat by the ledge? He took off a while ago and headed south.
Fly basically due south to Rusza'thar Reach in the Ohn'ahran Plains where Veritistrasz is up on a tower.
- Voraxian flies in and shifts to his visage form.
Speak with Veritistrasz again:
- Helllo[sic] <name>, nice to see you again.
- I went to Valdrakken to find Ebyssian, but it turns out he had already left, so I came here for the view instead.
- Do you want to stay a while?
- (Quest) Veritistrasz, this is Voraxian. He is a friend. Can you help us identify an artifact?
- Veritistrasz says: I would be happy to have a look for you.
- Voraxian says: Thank you! It is quite exciting, you see here, clear black dragon design, and it was in Neltharion's vault so likely very old!
- Veritistrasz says: Hmm. This is surprising, I have not seen one of these in thousands of years.
- Voraxian says: What is it? Is it a weapon? Is it an ancient artifact that will help my flight defend dragonkind?
- Veritistrasz says: It is an egg tending device.
- Voraxian says: Incredible! We will be able to tap into the ancient knowledge's and utilize it to help our whelps grow!
- Veritistrasz says: Oh... no, this is obsolete. We had even moved away from using this before we left the Dragon Isles. We have much better tools for it now.
- Voraxian says: Oh... Well, it is still a piece of history I guess. How did it work?
- Vertistrasz sighs
- Veritistrasz says: I will show you if you promise to slow down.
Voraxian has gossip after completing the quest:
- I will stay here with Veritistrasz, he has some interesting stories.
- I suppose it is a nice view, if you like that sort of thing.
