The quest giver's words
It's time to get to the bottom of this. We need to interrogate the matron of these beasts, Marion Wormwing. We'll capture her alive. Here's the plan:
The harpies communicate across the ridge using a series of signal fires. If we extinguish one, Marion is sure to come investigate.
You fight her as a distraction while I sneak up behind and grab her. I'll leave the questioning to you. Let's get her, <name>!
Progress
Marion used to visit the shrine here. Skylord Omnuron tried to give the harpies the benefit of the doubt, but I never trusted her.
Completion
So the harpies are tools of some sort of dragon - "Sethria."
But what are the dragons doing to those eggs? And what's this 'special' egg that Sethria wanted so badly?
This is beyond me, <name>. I've given a report to Skylord Omnuron - he'll know what to do next.

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.
Nobody has completed this quest with telemetry on yet, so there is no timing. Everything below is drawn straight from the 0 recorded attempts the hub has.
How precise this guide is
Early guide Built from 0 runs 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 needs one recorded run not yet
- Typical time and objective order – median and middle half needs 3 completed runs (now 0) not yet
- Tips – what most players do needs 5 runs (now 0) 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

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 (Mount Hyjal), 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.
