[25-30] What The Dragons Know.
This quest is part of the Return of Quel'Delar quest chain.
Objectives[]
Speak to Krasus at the top of Wyrmrest Temple, then report your findings to Magister Hathorel at Sunreaver's Sanctuary in Dalaran.
- Ask Krasus about the hilt's origins
Description[]
There's no mistaking it - this hilt comes from a powerful, ancient weapon, but which one? I do not recognize these particular markings, but we haven't hit a dead end yet.
Korialstrasz, better known as Krasus, has long been a friend to the quel'dorei and the Kirin Tor. With his vast knowledge and resources, he's certain to know something. Travel to the top of Wyrmrest Temple and seek his counsel, then report to Magister Hathorel inside Sunreaver's Sanctuary in Dalaran.
Rewards[]
You will receive: 7 40
Progress[]
The courier Myralion send said to expect you. What were you able to find out?
Completion[]
We must recover that book from the Silver Covenant. Without that book from Krasus, we stand little chance of solving the mystery of the sword in Icecrown or unlocking its power.
Notes[]
Speaking with Krasus during the quest will have this gossip:
- <The queen's consort nods in acknowledgment of your presence.>
What do you know of ancient swords?
What do you know of ancient swords?The following scene will play out:
- Krasus says: You're too late, <name>. Another visitor from Dalaran came asking after information about the same prismatic dragon blades.
- Krasus says: From your description, I'm certain the book I loaned our visitor could allow you to easily identify the weapon.
- Kalecgos walks toward the conversation, standing in front of Alexstrasza and Krasus.
- Krasus says: I'm afraid you'll have to ask the -- Well, perhaps Kalecgos can help.
- Krasus says: <name> may have found the remains of a prismatic blade, Kalecgos. Will you offer your help to our visitor?
- Kalecgos says: Are you certain you should be helping these mortals in their quest for the sword?
- Kalecgos says: These blades, Krasus... They were made long ago, when things were... different.
- Krasus says: You believe our allies will not be able to control the power of the swords?
- Kalecgos says: Our enemies once turned our strongest weapon against us. What makes you think the prismatic blades will be any different?
- Alexstrasza the Life-Binder says: Mortal champions have long used these weapons to combat evil. I see no reason to keep the swords from them in this battle.
- Kalecgos says: As you wish, my queen. I will not stand in their way, but I will keep a close watch.
- Krasus says: As will we all.
- Kalecgos walks back to his standing position.
- Krasus says: Please, mortal, seek out Magister Hathorel in Dalaran. He might be able to negotiate with the Silver Covenant for access to the book..
