What to do
Donathan wants you to speak to Surristrasz on Amber Ledge.
The quest giver's words
Delays, delays... the one thing we cannot afford right now!
As much as I hate to disturb Lord Surristrasz, he's our only hope of saving our beloved Evanor.
Bring him the key fragments and hope that his mood is favorable.
Hurry, <class>, our assault team is waiting.
Progress
You dare approach me, mortal?
For the sake of your unborn children, pray that your cause is worthwhile.
Completion
The frivolous games you play here are of no consequence....
You and your Dalaran allies pick at loose threads while the fabric of this world's future is being shredded.
Still, this may provide my drakes some needed amusement.
Show me this key....

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 8 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.
