Fate of The Kirin Tor Quest

 I meant to explore Undermine last night, but once Atherne was up top in Dornogal (as opposed to buried in Ajz-Kahet slogging for the Vizier), I saw a new quest called Survivor's Guilt.  You only get this if you've done absolutely everything (Atherne is my only character who has).

Off to see Khadgar, who is apparently activated every 21 days (?) to give out this new quest line.  Why it's time gated that way is anyone's guess.

You meet Aethas Sunreaver at the ruins of Dalaran at the Tranquil Shore.  He's hugely depressed by the fate of Dalaran and the Kirin Tor, but wants to find a way to rebuild.  Khadgar couldn't make himself travel to the ruins, so it's up to you once again, hero. 

It's a good quest line. You go around collecting lost magical items that had been stored in Dalaran, and there's a  (torturous) sequence where you have to do row after row of one of those ley line puzzles (think that's what they're called) to defuse a bomb.  It makes great sense within the text of the quest, but boy, those puzzle make me nuts.

Dalaran, spoiler alert, begins again, but it will never be a repository of dangerous creatures or artifacts, and it will never float in the sky again.


 

 I personally like that it is being rebuilt. It has a flight point and mailbox, those foundational items that will surely be built upon going forward.
