Objectives[]

Report back what you have found to Sentinel Glynda Nal'Shea in Auberdine.

Description[]

The moonwell water has revealed that embedded inside the crystal are a few small fragments of bone, as well as half of a jawbone. The jawbone appears to be from a humanoid, but it is unclear without breaking open the crystal - a feat that even the strongest of magic would find near impossible.

With the task at hand complete, all that remains is to report back to Sentinel Glynda Nal'Shea in Auberdine.

Reward[]

You will be able to choose one of these rewards

Completion[]

Well, it would seem that even though we know more about this crystal, more unanswered questions are the result!

I'll take the information you've uncovered to the council here in Auberdine.  Perhaps they'll know a course of action to follow on this crystal.  Well, that is if there is one to be taken; for now, the threat remains far enough to our east to be out of harm's way.

As for you, please have this.  Consider it a reward for a job well done, <name>.

Progression[]

  1. A [14] The Red Crystal
  2. A [14] As Water Cascades
  3. A [14] The Fragments Within

Speculation[]

This article or section includes speculation, observations or opinions possibly supported by lore or by Blizzard officials. It should not be taken as representing official lore.

It is possible that the "few small fragments of bone" and "half of a jawbone ... from a humanoid" seen within the red crystal are pieces of the Skull of Gul'dan, which the Burning Legion used to corrupt Felwood. Although Illidan recaptured the Skull and took it with him, it may have been damaged in the struggle, and some fragments of it may have fallen over the cliffs into Darkshore.

Patch changes[]

  • Cataclysm Patch 4.0.3a (2010-11-23): Removed.
  • Patch 1.3.0 (2005-03-07): The completion point for the The Fragments Within quest should now appear in the mini-map.
