The Maelstrom (quest)

Go through the Portal to the Maelstrom and speak to.

Thank the spirits you're here,.

We're not sure how much longer we can maintain the rift in the Maelstrom.

Our most powerful members, led by Thrall, are barely preventing the tear.

Last I heard, our only hope was to go through the breach and attempt to stabilize it from the other side.

I will conjure a portal. Take it and report to Thrall as soon as you can.

You will receive:

<Thrall's muscles strain as primal energy flows through him. His eyes shift your way, acknowledging your arrival.>

It is good to see you,.
