Tales of Destruction

Quest 8 of 8 in the Obsidian Dragonshrine Chain (Finale)
Alliance • Dragonblight • Level 74 • Wyrmrest Temple
Return to Wyrmrest Temple and report to Nalice at [59, 54] that Serinar's task is complete.
Nalice is in the queen's chamber at the top of the temple. Without Cold Weather Flying, speak to Tariolstrasz at [58, 48] near the base for a ride up. This is the final quest in the Obsidian Dragonshrine chain. No follow-up from Nalice.
Vikstone's Classic Expedition
Vikstone carried Serinar's message back to Nalice at Wyrmrest Temple. Two black dragons had needed his help, and neither one could be bothered to say thank you.

“You can leave now, Night Elf. Go tell Nalice she missed out on a good slaughter.”

Walkthrough

 

Quest Giver: Serinar — Maw of Neltharion, Dragonblight [37, 31]

Objective: Travel back to Wyrmrest Temple and report to Nalice that Serinar’s task is complete.

 

Walkthrough

  • After finishing Neltharion’s Flame, Serinar dismisses you with: “Go tell Nalice she missed out on a good slaughter.”
  • Fly (or ride) back to Wyrmrest Temple [59, 54]. Nalice is in the queen’s chamber at the top of the temple.
  • If you don’t have Cold Weather Flying, speak to Tariolstrasz at [58, 48] near the temple’s base. He’ll fly you to the top floor.
  • Turn in the quest to Nalice. She’s characteristically unimpressed: “I had hoped Serinar would simply return himself once the task was done… Are you still here? I’m done with you.”

 

Efficiency Tips

  • This is the final quest in the Serinar chain. There is no follow-up from Nalice.
  • Combine this turn-in with any other Wyrmrest Temple business you have pending (other dragonshrine questlines, Wyrmrest Accord daily quests at 80, etc.).

 

Lore Context

Nalice is the black dragonflight’s ambassador to the Wyrmrest Accord, not a red dragon. She’s openly hostile and condescending, even admitting the other dragons are nervous around her.

Her greeting to players: “Does being in the presence of a Black Dragon make you nervous? Good. It should.”

This entire chain (Nalice → Serinar → back to Nalice) is a black dragonflight affair. Both NPCs are black dragons, reluctantly cooperating with the Accord to defend their own shrine from the Scourge.

Upon completion of this quest you will gain:

The Maw of Neltharion lay silent behind me. Bone ash drifted through stale air, and Rothin’s ashes had joined those of his corrupted wyrms.

“You can leave now, night elf,” Serinar said. “Go tell Nalice she missed out on a good slaughter.” He’d dismissed me the way you’d dismiss a hired sword after the contract was fulfilled.

“Oh, it’s you,” Nalice said when she saw me return. “I had hoped Serinar would simply return himself once the task was done.” She glanced past me as if expecting him to materialize. “I suppose he’s distracted by something or another to kill. He’s missing out on a gloriously messy battle!”

Her attention had already wandered elsewhere.

“Are you still here? I’m done with you.”

I left without argument. The black dragonflight had their shrine back and the Cult of the Damned had lost another foothold. The bones of Serinar’s brood would rest undisturbed.

That the dragons saw me as a useful tool rather than an ally was, in the end, irrelevant. The work was done and that was what mattered, even if no one else seemed to think so.

 

The Obsidian chain ends with a door shut in Vikstone’s face, and Dragonblight has ground left in it, since there is a courier’s satchel that never reached anybody and a new errand beginning with Return to Sender.
