Quest · Chapter I
Koltira's Worry
Speak with Koltira Deathweaver in the sewer below the Violet Hold in Dalaran.
Description
The letter carries no seal. Koltira wrote to you as himself, not as an officer of the Ebon Blade, and he chose his meeting place for its lack of witnesses.
Whatever is wrong with the saronite, and with Thassarian, he isn't ready to tell Mograine. He'll tell you.
Begins with
The Ebon Dawn's Blade
One weapon for your role, taken at the end of Chapter I. It grows with every chapter, becomes a legendary in Phase 4 and wakes in Phase 5.
STRENGTHReaver of the Ebon Dawn
TANKOathblade of the Ebon Dawn
HEALERMender's Mace of the Ebon Dawn
CASTERWhispering Staff of the Ebon Dawn
AGILITYFang and Claw of the Ebon Dawn
HUNTERStingbow of the Ebon Dawn

The Chapters
I
The Black Vein
On the PTRSaronite wagons roll out from below Naxxramas, and a helpful magister in Dalaran points you at them.
IIThe Voice in the Stone
Phase 2In Ulduar, Brann learns what saronite really is. Thassarian seems to be slipping, and Koltira watches him.
IIIThe Kingdom Below

How a Chapter Plays
ACT 1Opens with the phase.
ACT 2Opens with your first tempering, the weekly turn-in.
ACT 3The second week's tempering.
FINALEThe third: a story run for up to three heroes.
A new episode every week for about a month. Every step works solo or with up to three players, and raid kills are only shortcuts.
Built by the whole realm
The Ebon Dawn's Camp
In the Shadow Vault's courtyard in Icecrown, Koltira's camp grows with every tempering anyone on the realm makes. Each goal reached is announced to the whole server.

The Saga Window
A book of the story in the client, opened with /saga or its blood-red rune on the minimap: the chapters and their quests, your blade and its stage, the camp, and one page that stays sealed for now.

Beyond Icecrown
Where Blizzard stopped, Tales of Wrath keeps going: quests, dungeons, raids and story after the Lich King, in Wrath's own style and canon, with our own characters where the story has room. This part of the road is still being written.

In the Game

ARGENT CRUSADESCOURGE
The front's panel sits at the top of the screen, where the game shows a zone's objectives. When the assault comes, the hub is flagged on your map.
The Fronts
| Zone | Hub | From level |
|---|---|---|
| Borean Tundra | Unu'pe | 68 |
| Howling Fjord | Kamagua | 68 |
| Dragonblight | Wyrmrest Temple | 71 |

An Assault
THE MUSTERThe zone is warned: three minutes to gather at the hub.
THREE WAVESGhouls, abominations and necromancers, sized to the defenders who came.
THE WARLORDA Vargul Warlord leads the last attack, raising ghouls at half health.
RALLIEDVictory pays Argent Crusade reputation, gold and emblems, and the zone gives 10% more experience and reputation for an hour.
Heroic Classic Dungeons
Set the dungeon difficulty to Heroic at level 80 and the old dungeons come back at Wrath's level, as Blizzard brought back the Deadmines in Cataclysm. Every foe is level 80, every boss drops an emblem, and the old gear returns as its item level 200 heroic version, with the same name and look: 266 items in all.

The client's green "Heroic" line, as Wrath's own heroic gear shows it.
The Dungeon Journal
The journal Blizzard added in Cataclysm, for every Northrend dungeon and raid: each boss's story, model, abilities marked by role, and loot as this phase drops it. It's written from this realm's own boss scripts, so it describes the fights as they're played here. Open it with Shift-J.
Seals of Fortune
A second chance at a raid boss's loot, as Mists of Pandaria's bonus rolls. Earn up to three a week from Incursions, Reorigination's last bosses, the Scourge Front and the raid weekly. After a raid boss, a window offers the roll; it's only ever for loot you can use. A miss pays 25 and raises the next chance until you win:

Profession Mastery
At 450, each crafting profession offers three paths. Pick one, then grow it through five ranks over a few weeks of crafting and daily Masterwork Orders, which pay 15 each, 30 from rank 4. Switching paths costs 100, doubling each time up to 1,600. A new tab on the profession window holds it all.
Provisioner
Consumables, gems and trade goods. Crafts can make an extra one or refund a reagent.
Artisan
Bags, shirts, tabards and toys, with three recipes of its own. The Masterpiece is announced to the realm.
Seeker
Weapons and armour. Torn Mastery Patterns drop for you; five make a Lost Pattern and a rare recipe.

Legacy Talents
A small second talent tree, a side tab of the Talents window. Points come from what all of your characters have done together: achievements, exploring the four continents, milestones and quests. It never touches combat power.
How Legacy Is Earned
AchievementsA point for every 250 achievement points across your account, each achievement counted once.
ExplorationExplore Eastern Kingdoms, Kalimdor, Outland and Northrend, on any of your characters.
MilestonesLevel 80, Loremaster of Northrend, Northrend Dungeonmaster, Northrend Dungeon Hero, Champion of the Frozen Wastes and The Fall of Naxxramas.
Long-termA point for every 500 quests your characters complete together.
Each shield shows the most points that source can give: 22 in all, for a tree of 18 ranks.

A Good Report
- One bug a report. Two problems are easier to fix as two reports.
- Say what you expected. "The boss didn't die" is a start; "the boss had 1% left and turned friendly" is a fix.
- Name the place. The zone, the quest's name or the dungeon and boss.
- Is it on the test realm? Tales of Wrath is played there first, so bugs there are the most useful of all.
