What to do
Donathan ordered you to offer your assistance to Librarian Normantis in the mage tower on Amber Ledge.
The quest giver's words
Listen closely, <name>, for there is not a moment to spare.
Your prisoner is being prepared for interrogation here in our tower. In the event that he is less than forthcoming, your assistance may be required.
Make your way up to where he is being detained and tell Librarian Normantis that I've sent you to assist him.
Completion
It was wise of Donathan to send you, <class>.
As it turns out, I am in need of someone outside the Kirin Tor.
Category: Borean Tundra.

Nothing: no quest item is handed out and none is required to start.

What players recorded
Everything below this line is a different kind of knowledge from everything above it. Above: what the quest is, the same on every realm. Below: what actually happened when people played it, uploaded by them, with the number of runs printed against every figure. It is an observation, not a fact about the quest.
This guide rests on 1 completed run. That is enough to show where people went and not enough to trust the timings – treat them as one player's evening.
How precise this guide is
Early guide Built from 1 run by 0 players – low confidence. Every upload of this quest sharpens it: the hotspots tighten, the order and the timings settle, and the parts below unlock as the sample grows.
- Where to go – pick-up, objectives and hand-in available
- Typical time and objective order – median and middle half needs 3 completed runs (now 1) not yet
- Tips – what most players do needs 5 runs (now 1) not yet
- Where players die – death hotspots on the map needs 5 characters from at least 2 different people (now 0 from 0) not yet
Timings
Based on 1 completed run. Published by the analyser – low confidence.
Same 1 run; mean 28 s.
Counting every recorded attempt, finished or not.
0 tracked kills.
The route
An early route: drawn from the first runs and sharper with every upload. Pick-up, hand-in and the objective hotspots are where the quest is, so they are shown from the first run.
Map coordinates are the addon's own 0–1 zone coordinates (Borean Tundra), origin top-left, x to the right and y downward. Drag the zone map to pan, ctrl/⌘ + scroll or the buttons to zoom; the grid lines are tenths of the zone.
