Just Checkin’

Quest 1 of 2 in the Chronicler Chain
Both Factions • Zul'Drak • Level 78 • Zim'Torga
Travel to Dubra'Jin and speak with Chronicler Bah'Kini near Gundrak.
Chronicler To'kini at Zim'Torga [59, 57] asks you to check on his "long-time student" near Gundrak. Fly or ride northeast to Dubra'Jin [70, 21], a small Zandalari outpost west of Gundrak. Pick up the follow-up For Posterity before your first Gundrak dungeon run.
Vikstone's Classic Expedition
To'kini called her his student, and Vikstone believed him right up until Bah'Kini opened her mouth. The family resemblance was obvious.

“There have been fearsome sounds echoing from Gundrak. They have been increasing in volume and frequency of late. My long-time student is currently recording events from inside Gundrak. Perhaps you could find the time to check in on her for me?”

-Chronicler To’kini

Walkthrough

 

Quest Giver: Chronicler To’kini at Zim’Torga, Zul’Drak [59, 57]

Objective: Speak to Chronicler Bah’kini at Dubra’Jin, Zul’Drak [70, 21].

 

Walkthrough

  • Breadcrumb quest. To’kini asks you to check on his “long-time student” near Gundrak. Simply travel to Dubra’Jin, a small Zandalari outpost west of Gundrak, and speak to Bah’kini.
  • If you’ve already discovered the Dubra’Jin flight path, just fly there. Otherwise, head northeast from Zim’Torga toward Gundrak and look for the small camp to its west.
  • Note: The quest description says Bah’kini is “just west of Gundrak,” but it can cause confusion because the quest initially pointed them north. Trust the coordinates, not the compass direction.

 

Lore Note

To’kini describes Bah’kini as his “long-time student,” but the turn-in text reveals the truth: she’s actually his daughter. Bah’kini’s response is priceless, calling To’kini her “cowardly father” who was too afraid to set up a post near Gundrak himself, so he sent her instead.

Their full titles are both “Chronicler,” making them a father-daughter team of Zandalari historians documenting the fall of the Drakkari Empire.

Bah’kini’s name is a play on “bikini,” one of many cheeky Zandalari naming conventions Blizzard slipped into WotLK.

 

Follow-Up: For Posterity (Gundrak dungeon quest). This leads into Gundrak dungeon content, including the excellent One of a Kind dungeon quest. Worth picking up before your first Gundrak run.

 

Cross-Expansion Connection

  • Chronicler Bah’kini resurfaces in Battle for Azeroth at the Zocalo in Dazar’alor as a vendor. When Zul and Mythrax attack the city, she’s cornered by invading sethrak and must be rescued, showing she survived her dangerous posting near Gundrak and returned home to Zandalar.

 

Explore Zul’Drak’s hidden easter eggs, lore mysteries, and connections across Warcraft history in Vikstone’s Zul’Drak Chronicles, along with the complete quest storyline.

Upon completion of this quest you will gain:
11,770 experience
75 reputation with Argent Crusade

Warrior IconVikstone's War Journal

To’kini asked me to check on his “long-time student” near Gundrak. Something in his tone suggested there was more to it.

Bah’kini was exactly where he said, calmly recording history while Gal’darah’s madness echoed from the nearby stronghold.

“Long-time student? Hah!” She didn’t look up from her scrolls. “If by long-time ya mean my whole life, den I suppose dat be accurate. To’kini be my cowardly father. Too fearful to take up a position so near Gundrak… so he sent me!”

The courage did run in the family. Just not evenly distributed.

 

Bah’Kini had her father’s brains and none of his caution, and she needed something from inside Gundrak in For Posterity
