This quest starts with Korah Kai in Umbral Plains. She can be found via the find tool CTRL F.

You say, 'Hail, Korah Kai the Gardener'

Korah Kai the Gardener says, 'Ah, welcome back. With Binkl a bit less on-edge with your presence, we have a bit of a breather, eh?' She chuckles softly, voice coming with a purred lilt. 'I didn't get an opportunity to introduce myself before. I'm Korah Kai, a shaman of the Dar Khura.' She bows with a flourish. 'As this is one of the safer spots in the area, I negotiated my own presence here with Binkl. His is an unpaid [post], but this patch of land here will be more than sufficient.'

You say, 'What post is that?'

Korah Kai the Gardener says, 'Oh, the role as his personal gardener. An hour or so a day of trimming the grass, and I get this nice vantage point to view the [happenings] in this area.'

You say, 'What happenings are you concerned about?'

Korah Kai the Gardener says, 'There's been a political shift in the Umbral Plains. The Akheva, and their shade allies, have cleared out a lot of the ancient Elysian housing, resulting in not only Binkl Dirkwafer's relocation, but the relocation of many of the local denizens of the plains. Speaking of... are you up for some [scouting]?'

You say, 'What scouting do you need?'

Korah Kai the Gardener says, 'I'm looking for an up-to-date status on all of these groups, and it's been a bit since I've been able to step away from the house here. If you're able, check deep into the caves, as well as the gantru camp. Even if Binkl's not the type to pay, I'll do what I can to reimburse you for your troubles. Does that sound [good]?'

You say, 'That sounds good to me.'

Korah Kai the Gardener says, 'Thank you so very much, my adventurer friend. Please let me know what you find.'

You have been assigned the task 'The More Things Change'.




  • 1. Scout deep into the Netherbian caves 0/1 Umbral Plains

    This step updates at northernmost room in Netherbian cave - mixed undead and living, so a bard is helpful.


  • 2. Seek evidence of what happened to the frozen caverns 0/1 Umbral Plains

    Pick up ground spawn Everfrozen Shard on mound in s/w part of Northernmost room. (/loc +2815, +155). Respawn timer is 100 seconds


  • 3. Scout deep into the eastern fork of the Tegi caves 0/1 Umbral Plains

    This step updates in easternmost room in Tegi cave.


  • 4. Seek evidence of what happened to the fire portal 0/1 Umbral Plains

    Collect ground spawn Firefall Portal Fragment - lump of mud in southernmost room in pit at center. (/loc -825, -2025)


  • 5. Defeat some Shak Dathor to further investigate the shadow 0/3 Umbral Plains

    Kill 3 Shak Dathors.


  • 6. Scout the Gantru camp 0/1 Umbral Plains

    At the southern part of zone, update is at /loc -1075, -100.

  • 9. Take the Everfrozen Shard to Korah Kai 0/1 Umbral Plains
  • 10. Take the Firefall Portal Fragment to Korah Kai 0/1 Umbral Plains

    Speak with Korah Kai about what you have found.

    Korah Kai the Gardener says, 'So, most of the northern-most caverns have melted and the two caves are now conjoined? Very interesting...'

    Korah Kai the Gardener says, 'If this is all that's left of the portal, that would mean that the Fyr Jen are now blocked off from Firefall. Was it done willingly?'


  • 11. ??? 0/1 Umbral Plains

    You say, 'Hail, Korah Kai the Gardener'

    Korah Kai the Gardener says, 'You were right to question whether the Shak Dathor are involved. Although the few you took down didn't shed any further light on the situation, there's signs that the shadow tegi were involved. Whether the Fyr Jen and Syl Ren are aware, I really don't know. Give me a bit longer to look over these samples, and we'll see what next steps to take.'

    Things have changed in the Umbral Plains, and the items you brought will help figure out just how much they have.

    In case you're as dumb as I am....

    There are no "Earthen Elementals" on track.
    The Stone Guardians at the entrance to Vex Thal are Earthen Elementals.
    The guys at the bottom of the stairs cannot be mezzed or calmed. If you pull one, you will get both. They aren't any big deal to kill. Just a warning.
    Respawn Timer on the Massive Stone Guardians is 7:20 - 8:00.
    Be careful of the Dark Shade that wanders around the bottom of the steps. He may agro if you are fighting there. He is mezzable.
