• At her lodgings, Telestra told her companions that she would remain at Sunfury Spire as the academy’s ambassador, while they could return to Silvermoon City through its Teleportation Chamber.

Patrick received two Sixth Ring Arcane Codices and struggled to inscribe a spell circle until he mastered a preliminary version. After taking time to rest, he overheard an Elf recruiting companions to explore an ancient Titan ruin in the southern Badlands.

• Patrick opened Master Sailervor’s reward package and found the Sixth Ring metamagic techniques Energy Disjunction and Spell Sequencing.
• Patrick’s first attempt to inscribe a spell circle shattered because his mana control weakened while he focused on drawing its circuits and nodes.
• Lady Ellen explained the cause and suggested stabilizing the spell circle with mental restraint and Forcefield Construction.

• Patrick added collected materials to the library, noticed Telestra’s contributed books, and took the afternoon off to rest.
• An Elf at the Rangers’ party said he was seeking companions to explore an ancient Titan ruin in the southern Badlands.

• Lorne Songweaver told Patrick that the Bronzebeard Dwarves had abandoned Uldaman after Troggs and Dark Iron Dwarves attacked, and that Galgann Firehammer had likely occupied the ruins.

• Patrick packed supplies, arranged for Quelrintis to manage things during his absence, and took Alleria and Lorne Songweaver through a portal to the Badlands.
• Lorne Songweaver began guiding the group toward Dustwind Dig as Patrick surveyed the barren land and focused on reaching Uldaman.

Patrick, Alleria, and Lorne Songweaver joined Prospector Redul and Selidorin the Lost to explore Uldaman. The five reached the entrance to the Titan ruin undetected, ready to continue inside.

• Lorne Songweaver brought Patrick and Alleria to Flame Crest and arranged rooms while he contacted Prospector Redul and Selidorin the Lost.
• Patrick explained that he wanted to investigate Uldaman because it was a Titan ruin, and Alleria agreed the expedition seemed manageable.

• Redul warned Patrick that Troggs occupied the Hall of the Keepers, and Patrick sensed their location and strength before leading the group onward.

Patrick and his party fought their way through the Troggs to the Hall of the Makers, where they discovered the Guardian Altar that controlled the sealed passage to the Seat of Khaz'goroth. After Olaf activated it, they destroyed the four Stone Keepers, and the door to the lowest level opened.

• Patrick bound the Cave Flameweavers and Cave Torturers with Arcane Rose vines, then defeated them with Super Arcane Magic-Flames Enveloping the Body.
• Patrick's party reached the Hall of the Makers, where Redul and Thelsamar failed to force open the sealed stone door.
• Patrick recognized the Guardian Altar as the likely mechanism, and Olaf aligned the slab's patterns to activate it.
• The Stone Keepers awakened, and Alleria advised Patrick to restrain them while the dwarves attacked their joints.
• Patrick bound each Stone Keeper as the five dwarves destroyed them, and the door to the Seat of Khaz'goroth opened.

Patrick activated the pedestal with arcane energy, which opened the treasure room and led him to the Discs of Norgannon. A Titan named Lorekeeper Norgannon appeared in Patrick’s mind and explained the origins of the Earthen and dwarves.

• Patrick used arcane energy to activate the pedestal, awakening Archaedas and the surrounding Earthen and Stone Managers.
• Archaedas and the other guardians abruptly turned back into stone, leaving Patrick, Alleria, and the dwarves unharmed.
• The gate behind Archaedas opened, revealing a treasure room and the Discs of Norgannon.
• Patrick was drawn to the Discs and touched them, whereupon Lorekeeper Norgannon appeared in his mind.
• Lorekeeper Norgannon told Patrick that the Titans created the Earthen, whose failed early forms became Troggs and whose later descendants became dwarves after the Curse of Flesh.

Patrick fell into a trance while touching the Discs of Norgannon and spoke with Norgannon, who explained that the Pantheon had found a growing Titan soul within Azeroth and clarified the nature of different energies. Patrick received the Four Discs of Norgannon's Arcane Truth and woke hours later, with Alleria and the others relieved.

• Alleria noticed Patrick had become unresponsive beside the discs and found that a force repelled anyone who tried to reach him.
• Norgannon told Patrick that Aman'Thul had discovered an incomplete Titan soul within Azeroth and that the Pantheon had nurtured it with arcane energy and the force of nature.
• Norgannon explained the differences between energies inclined toward order, pure Holy Light, and shadow, then gave Patrick a sigil as his reward: the Four Discs of Norgannon's Arcane Truth.
• While Patrick remained in a trance for several hours, Alleria and the others failed to wake him, and the dwarves collected and packed the treasure.
• Patrick woke feeling weak, and Alleria supported him as Lorne Songweaver, Olaf, Prospector Redul, and Prospector Thelsamar told him how long he had been motionless.
