Children of Nar'thalasHi! <Name>, right? The archmages in Dalaran said we might see you down here.
My brother and I are here on a reconnaissance mission. We're looking for our parents. We've lived our entire lives thinking that our family was killed in Azsuna several thousand years ago, but look around! Most of the elves here are ghosts. Olothil's been searching through books for clues as to why, but we could use some help. Quest Objectives Find three Ancient Highborne Tomes in the Ruins of Nar'thalas. |
The first book is up the stairs near where you entered Nar'thalas with Farondis.
|
The first book says, "THE DEFIANCE OF FARONDIS
Queen Azshara's pact with the demon lord Sargeras went mostly uncontested by her subjects. One of the few that dared to defy her was Prince Farondis. As one of the queen's trusted advisors, Farondis was in regular contact with the Highborne of Zin-Azshari, but his palace in Azsuna was several leagues away from the elven capital. As such, he was able to witness Sargeras' influence on the Highborne court without falling away to the demons' temptation." |
Across from the stairs where you found the first book is a building. Stay on the first floor and straight across from the door is the next book.
|
This book says, "THE WRATH OF THE QUEEN
Farondis' plan was bold, but simple: destroy the Well of Eternity in Zin-Azshari. Doing so would close the portal to Sargeras' realm and stem the tide of evil before it even started. In order to accomplish this task, he would use the power of an artifact stored deep within Nar'thalas Academy: The Tidestone of Golganneth. Unfortunately, the queen's influence in Farondis' palace was already deep-seated. Vandros, a young noble in Farondis' court, caught word of Farondis' plans to defy the Queen, and reported the insurrection to Queen Azshara herself." |
The third book is located on the lower floor near the south of Nar'thalas. The book is beneath the rare that is upstairs, and isn't far from Farondis, or the siblings that gave you the quest.
|
This final book reads, "THE FATE OF AZSUNA
Azshara wasted no time in punishing Farondis and his people. In a frightening display of arcane power, she destroyed the Tidestone of Golganneth, and in doing so, released a wave of dark energy over all of Azsuna and its inhabitants. Since that day, the elves of Azsuna have been unable to experience the release of death. Their spirits - our spirits - wander the land indefinitely... all because of our prince's unwise allegiances." |
After you turn in the quest, Kallistia will start to have a conversation with her brother. "Get a load of this, brother!" she'll say.
|
"Remember how Queen Azshara was working with the demons? Well apparently, when Prince Farondis found out, he was like..."
|
"'NO!' ...and then Queen Azshara was like... 'HOW DARE YOU DEFY ME!?'"
|
"...and then she got so mad that she turned everbody into... into..."
|
"CURSED SPIRITS!"
|
"Oh, sorry."
