The Rise of the Machines

A level 54 quest for the Horde, from level 52.

Unchanged in Forever as far as is known: the text, objectives and rewards below are Classic’s.

Quest Objectives

Venture to the Burning Steppes and recover 10 Fractured Elemental Shards for Hierophant Theodora Mulvadania.

You recall Theodora mentioning the golems and elementals of that region as being a source for these shards.

Description

The machines made themselves known to us during our initial forays into the Searing Gorge. Upon further investigation we discovered that they were being imported from Burning Steppes, possibly Blackrock Depths. That is what we need you for, ‹name›.

Your first task is to venture to the Burning Steppes and recover elemental shards from the rock automatons and lesser rock creations of the region. Once you have collected a sufficient amount, return to me and I shall determine their source of origin.

Rewards

Do not take this task lightly, ‹name›!

When you hand it in

<Theodora lays the fragments out before her.>

<Theodora carefully examines the fragments with an enormous monocle.>

Interesting. Etched into the structural foundation of each of these fragments are... initials.
