Secrets of the First Empire

Secrets of the First Empire starts the Patch 5.2 portion of Wrathion's legendary quest chain alongside I Need a Champion. Before Wrathion offers these quests, players must have completed the Patch 5.0 and Patch 5.1 portions of his quest, Breath of the Black Prince (quest) and Call of the Packmaster / The Soul of the Horde respectively.

Over the course of this portion of the story, Wrathion's champion must reach standing with him by killing mogu, saurok, Zandalari trolls, and members of the opposing faction on the Isle of Thunder, acquire twenty Secrets of the Empire from raid bosses in the Throne of Thunder, unlock the Thunder Forge, and kill the world boss Nalak. Wrathion will then offer his champion a legendary meta gem in The Crown of Heaven, before asking for twelve Titan Runestones, which are found on the last six bosses in the Throne of Thunder.

Description
For two thousand years the mogu ruled this entire land. So brutal was their regime that its name is never uttered aloud: Pandaren call it either the "Old Kingdom" or "First Dynasty."

The Thunder King was its founder and first emperor. He amassed enormous power on what is now the Isle of Thunder.

His time has passed,. We should claim some of his power for ourselves. Gather mogu relics for me from the Throne of Thunder, and amass some trillium - I have a plan!

Rewards
You will receive:

Progress
What have you uncovered from the Throne of Thunder? Is the Thunder King's ferocious reputation warranted?

Completion


Well done. The trillium will need additional refinement, of course, but these samples are pure.

I will need to study these artifacts for a time but I believe I can use the knowledge contained here to craft something of great value to us both.
