This quest is part of the introduction to  [The Scepter of the Shifting Sands] quest chain to open the Gates of Ahn'Qiraj.

Objectives

Locate the Crystalline Tear in Silithus and gaze into its depths.

Description

In the southern desert of Silithus, near the sacred barrier, exists a single crystalline tear. This tear serves as a symbol of the great losses beset upon us during the War of the Shifting Sands. Locate this tear and gaze into its depths to gain enlightenment.

Completion

You can feel a great sorrow revolving around this crystal. The force is so powerful that you feel as if you might collapse and die of sadness.

Notes

A very small red glowing crystal on the ground before the gates, it'd be easy to miss if it wasn't for the glow.

Click it and a script will show a historic battle.

Return to Anachronos afterwards.

Forward Commander Onslaught
Search the area for the 7th Legion telescope.

Objectives

Use the 7th Legion Telescope to Scout the Harbor.

• Use the 7th Legion Telescope to Scout the Harbor.

Description

<The F.C.D. buzzes.>

Look around the Cathedral Quarter. There should be a telescope nearby that the 7th Legion uses for spying. Find it and use it to scout the harbor. We need to find out how the 7th Legion got past our fleet.

Hurry, <name>. We can't hold these beasts back much longer.

What does tomorrow bring?

Completion

Forward Commander Onslaught
We've been torpedoed!

<The F.C.D. crackles with electricity.>

TORPEDOED! We have everything at the water line covered, but nothing below the line. They must have snuck in beneath our defenses and then blown our warships to smithereens.

And now the rest of the Alliance fleet is nearly here...

Notes

Interacting with the telescope shows a submarine with 7th Legioners and Halford Wyrmbane and approaching Alliance ships.

Alliance reinforcements have arrived.
