Quest Text
The whispers of the elements are crowding my thoughts, {name}... The Throne of Tides is under siege! I cannot stand idly by while the naga threaten Neptulon's realm. We must find a way to join forces with him. Captain Taylor will escort me to the depths where I can commune directly with Neptulon. I must ask you to take a more violent path. Keep the enemy forces distracted until I arrive safely at entrance to the Throne of Tides. May the spirits see us through, {name}.
Plan the run before you travel
Check the quest area, faction, and level range before you travel. If this quest is part of a chain, finish nearby campaign quests in the same zone first.
Check the exact quest giver and turn-in records above first. Use this page's community comments for phase changes, cave entrances, spawn timing, and corrections from the live game.
No group size is listed by Blizzard, so this is usually soloable unless the objective text says otherwise.
Pin the quest in-game, enable objective outlines, then use the exact-title references in the archive for NPC or object coordinates. Add a correction below if the live game differs from this record.
