Race Through Time!

Race through time, following Chromie and Eternus's Path.

• Race Through Time

<Name>, we must act quickly to catch up to Ambassador Chronormu, and I mean that quite literally.

Zera and I will do what we can to speed our progress, but it is imperative we avoid entangling with this time period as much as possible. To do so will slow us down and we may not be able to catch the Ambassador before she is lost to even Nozdormu's magic.

We haven't a moment to lose!

Don't mount up, as there are speed boots along the way. Each boot provides a stacking runspeed buff:

Steer clear of the swirlies and any combatants. Race along the path to Stormwind, but just before reaching it, the time portal sends players 1,000 years back in time to the War of the Shifting Sands!

The stun will reset the buff stack. Keep clear of the Savage Wasps fighting Kaldorei Defenders and follow the path south of Cenarion Hold to the Gates of Ahn'Qiraj. The next time warp sends players back to the Pandaren Revolution:

Players land in the Vale of Eternal Blossoms. Keep following the road west toward the Gate of the Setting Sun to make it to the final time portal, to the Black Empire! An in-engine cutscene plays:
