No movement just yet. I suspect Elisande is quite comfortable with the current climate in the city. It is quiet. Perhaps our people are too afraid to cry out after the atrocity at the Waning Crescent...

I have not been able to locate Vanthir. His name is conspicuously absent from our discussions.

As an amusing piece of trivia, Elisande is the least punctual person I have ever had the misfortune to serve.

I will report in again as soon as I can. Take care, Thalyssra.
As you requested, I have inquired about the Felsoul Hold situation. It apepars that your efforts have slowed the trafficking significantly. I regret to say that it will likely not stop without further intervention.

There is some talk of a sweep for deserters after the events of Astravar Harbor. Advise your people to keep an eye out. More defectors may be coming your way.

In lighter news, there is a new fashion trend sweeping the palace. There is an obsession with placing ornamental orange birds on their heads. Baffling, truly.

As ever, I continue to seek our mutual friend. As soon as I know more I will reach out to you directly.

Stay strong, First Arcanist.
I am so glad Vanthir is safe. Give him my best! I hope to see him in person soon.

Things are...growing tense. The Dusk Lily display really rattled the nobility. They are not in agreement of how to handle the situation but violence is most assuredly an option. I worry for those still trapped in the city.

I have caught wind of some movement in the Promenade - they may be reinforcing the area. Something worth keeping an eye on.

I will report in when I have more information.
Your new allies have not gone unnoticed.

I do not know where you found such a band but I had to hide my pleasure at their progress infiltrating the Promenade.

The mood here is increasingly disturbed. The nobles no longer have any illusion that they can avoid a fight. Elisande will not allow them to stand idly by while Suramar is overrun by Outlanders.

I would not assume victory just yet, my friend.

Be cautious, and be strong. I will see you soon.
I do not have long. This report will be regrettably brief.

Elisande is furious. She is planning something, but I have no details yet.

My eyes and ears are open as ever. As soon as I know what she is up to I will contact you.

Be safe.

I am glad to see a friendly face on this battlefield.

It is...hard...for me to once again walk in Suramar. Ten thousand years have passed since my feet last felt the grass of this land.

Back then, we were fleeing the Burning Legion.

I never believed I would return to the place of my birth to wrest it from the grasp of those I once believed were my people.

Your leaders need to get their heads in the game.

Vereesa is so obsessed with her desire for revenge against the Horde that we cannot trust our flank to her.

Tyrande is a sentinel. She knows little of war of this type of battlefield. While her scouting is useful she should rescue the Kal'dorei from the main assault.

My blood knights are the only ones prepared to carry the weight of this conflict.

Kaldorei? You disgrace a glorious past, hiding in trees and cloaking yourselves in false piety. You have grown as savage as the trolls that skulk about your forest.

Quel'dorei? You are peasants playing at nobility, all too willing to mingle with lesser races that dilute your bloodline. You are unworthy of the name high elves.

Sin'dorei? Of all the elves, I thought you might understand the choice I made to save my people. Instead, you ally with misfits and monsters.

Each of you has debased your proud lineage. Each of you has forgotten the ancient power that is our birthright.

Bah! I'd rather do this without meeting the requirements like we always have.

Comment by Murgeth

I guess only one Quest per Week, right? Or are there other ways?

Comment by 1628359

I have to say this looks great and thank you for compiling.

At the same time... I HATE... absolutely HATE time gated content. Annoying! (BLIZZ you hear that?)

I sure hope we don't have to do this story line on EVERY ALT to get into Nighthold content... Cause I'm just going to stop playing them (ALTS) if we need to hit exhalted on them to unlock these quests.

Comment by Truckle

So if i am unable to complete the first week because im not exalted, will i be behind a week from everyone else?

Comment by Kalliko

Out of Curiosity is there anything stopping me ignoring these quests until the 8-9th week and complete everything in one day, then just rack in tonnes of Artifact Power due to my knowledge increasing lots throughout the 9 weeks?

Comment by GraywolfofMibu

Is this every other week or am I missing something? I've done Lockdown last week but missing persons is not here this week.

Comment by Snichy

Is the Nighthold unlock account wide? I.e. can I do this on one character and Nighthold will unlock for my alts as well?

Comment by kodora1316

The quest is once again not showing on on Tuesday. It's been like this since the first week.

Comment by Purplefire17

Is this questline going to be available after the 9 weeks have passed? As I had to focus on college the past two months I couldn't do much if anything to advance my nightfallen rep (barely past honored) so it'll take me a long time to even get to the end of the first suramar questline, and I'd hate to miss out on this much story content.

Comment by Shannu

I just noticed after completing the quest line up to the current week that the titles for the last two sections in this guide are mixed up. Breaking the Nighthold is actually As Strong As Our Will and vice versa.

I just completed As Strong As Our Will tonight and got credit for it in the achievement, but not for Breaking the Nighthold. Someone may want to swap the titles around, so far it has been a good guide.

"An additional step may be needed" Please change your guide from 'maybe' to 'IS'

I just completed INSURRECTION -achi, YOU DON'T GET A MOUNT as you need to at least kill GULDAN in a follow up quest called 'LORD OF THE SHADOW COUNCIL' @NIGHTHOLD... And that quest is not available to complete as I write this, nor does it have the mount listed as a reward... So much for a Xmas Gift for doing 9 weeks of Blah Blah Suramar.

Comment by LePerceur

interesting info for people trying to unlock the allied race. You can complete the first 3 chapters while working from friendly to honored, but you'll be stuck not having chapter 4 ("an elven problem") while you've not reached exalted. You've to find ways to gain rep... given finishing "Good suramaritan" DOES NOT GIVE REP and given the poor number of expeditions in Suramar (and given each gives 75 to 175 rep points), it won't be fast. Moreover, there are no inscription contracts for that faction (nor any from Legion).
