Dawn ' s Gambit quest chain A few innocent " help me out " tasks leads to stealing black dragon eggs , and eventually confounding the development of a " plagued dragonflight " . Dawn ' s Gambit . You encounter Tinkee Steamboil , a goblin inventor at Flame Crest in the Burning Steppes . She has device she wants you to test out that " should " extract the essence of the nearby broodlings for study . You volunteer to take her device and zap a number of broodlings , and collect their essences . The broodlings are a nuisance anyway . . . Tinkee ' s study of the essences you brought her have given her ideas of how dragon whelp eggs might be frozen . But she needs help from a colleague of hers , Felnok Steelspring in Everfrost . It ' s a postman ' s work , but now she ' s got you curious . Up in Winterspring , Felnok is freezing . Big surprise , it ' s cold up there . He ' s collected the parts Tinkee needs , with one exception : " uncracked " horns from the Chillwind Chimaera s that make winterspring their home . Apparently they are " packed with cold " or something . Tinkee can sort it out , all you have to do is gather them . Felnok packages up the parts , and sends you back to Tinkee . Yippee , another intercontinental trip . Hope you remembered to book First Class this time . Tinkee has finished a prototype of a dragon egg freezing device , and wants you to test it out . The eggs to test it on , though , are in a rookery in Blackrock Spire . And for that , you will need to find some help . You gather a fair number of friends with you , and storm Blackrock Spire . You wade through blackrock legion orcs , black dragonkin , and various minions of Rend Blackhand , even braving the Pyroguard Emberseer to get to the rookery . Your party soon finds that the eggs are easily disturbed , causing the whelps inside to hatch . Exceedingly gingerly , you approach an egg and fire the Eggscilloscope at it . Success ! You return with the news of the device ' s success . Tinkee is overjoyed to hear it . With the success of the Eggscilloscope , she ' s added a collection module and ( much to your relief ) increased the range . But . . . she wants you to go back to the rookery and collect 8 dragon eggs . After freezing them , of course . Oy , vey . Nothing for it . You bend a few arms , place a few bribes , or butter up your friends ( whichever tactic works ) and off you go to Blackrock Spire again . The denizens of Blackrock Spire are no more happy to see you this time than they were last time . You get hacked at , bitten , flamed , and all . Still , you manage to collect the eggs . Tinkee reveals that the person she ' s working for ( and wants to keep very , very happy ) is someone named Vectus . However , someone named Leonid Barthalomew apparently knows him and wants the eggs delivered to him at Light ' s Hope Chapel in Eastern Plaguelands . Since " nobody knows her master unless he allows it " , it must be authentic . So you get handed the bundle of frozen eggs and take them to the Eastern Plaguelands . At least it isn ' t Winterspring again . . . It turns out that Leonid isn ' t actually associated with Vectus . But that ' s a good thing , since Vectus is part of the Cult of the Damned , and has been trying to create a " plagued dragonflight " . Fortunately , Leonid intercepted the eggs before they got to the cult . Leonid asks you to take the eggs to Betina Bigglezink , nearby . She immediately takes the eggs out and puts them safely away , but what she is really interested in is the container . There are undead scholars in Scholomance , of which Vectus is the leader . Betina wants you to take a device she has created and named Dawn ' s Gambit into Scholomance in the egg crate . She is hoping that it will destroy the scholars and their leader , but isn ' t " quite " sure that it will work . You ' re really quite happy to stop anyone who wants to make diseased and corrupted dragons , so you take the chest and with the help of a few friends venture into the Viewing Room in Scholomance . There , you find Vectus along with Marduk Blackpool , and a large number of students . You put the device on the floor and activate it ( being sure to step briskly away from it ! ) . The box levitates , separates , and opens in a burst of light . The flesh of the undead students is burned away , but Vectus and Marduk seem only little affected . Time to resort to the " old fashioned way " , and bludgeon the bones into shards , and slice the two tutors into . You return to Betina and report the partial success of the device , and the destruction of Vectus and Marduk . On behalf of the Argent Dawn , Bentia rewards you . Rewards .
