What to do
Surristrasz wants you to travel to Coldarra. Once there, you are to speak with Archmage Berinand.
The quest giver's words
I've been mindful of your efforts, mortal. Do not feign surprise. Surely you've felt my eye upon you.
The time has come to peel back a layer of darkness from your mind. There are stark truths that you have grown ready to accept.
Before hearing the tale, you shall be shown firsthand what we face.
Put your affairs in order, <class>....
Completion
Welcome to Coldarra, <class>.
Under the Transitus Shield we lie hidden just a stone's throw from the Nexus, fortress of the great aspect Malygos and his blue dragonflight.
Do make yourself comfortable.

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 1 min 17 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.
