Flashback 1:
Magister Umbric: Our void experiments are proceeding well. I am certain we are on the cusp of a breakthrough... despite Rommath's smallminded protests.
Magister Umbric: The grand magister must understand that this power is crucial to the defense of Silvermoon. Never again shall the sin'dorei fall prey to our enemies!
Magister Umbric: Unfortunately, it seems our research has reached an impasse. I believe there is knowledge at the Andilien Estate that will springboard us forward.

Alleria (to the player): Come. We must make our way to Dawnstar Spire.

Alleria (to the player): Based on these notes, I believe I can reopen the passage to this world he spoke of. Let me see…
