Objectives Edit

Speak to Tymor in Ironforge.

Description Edit

I've recently been handed the responsibility of investigating Azshara--a once beautiful area the elves called home. This would be back when they practiced magic. It's now a more dangerous place than it is beautiful, but that doesn't stop us from turning over every stone for answers to our past. A companion of mine named Tymor offered to help me investigate the area since he takes a particular interest in such things.

He owns a small place to the right of the Hall of Mysteries here in the city.

Completion Edit

Ah, Karnik sent you, did he? I expected to hear from him soon. I've discovered such wonderful things about Azshara.. I know night elves have incredible life spans, but everyone forgets some of the more... unfortunate events in their lives sometimes. That's not meant as a criticism, just an observation.

Long ago, there were cities created by the elves filled with knowledge about magic and other lost arts. Being a student of such things, I started my investigation. What I found was quite thrilling.
