Defending the Rift (Alliance)

== Objectives ==
Kill any 15 naga in the Abyssal Breach.
* Kill 15 naga in the Abyssal Breach (15)
== Description ==
The whispers of the elements are crowding my thoughts, <name>...
The Throne of the Tides is under siege!
I cannot stand idly by while the naga threaten Neptulon's realm. We must find a way to join forces with him.
Captain Taylor will escort me to the depths where I can commune directly with Neptulon.
I must ask you to take a more violent path. Keep the enemy forces distracted until I arrive safely at entrance to the Throne of Tides.
May the spirits see us through, <name>. 
== Rewards ==
You will also receive: and 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea
== Completion ==
NO!
This is NOT over! 
==Notes==
There is no direct followup. At this point, players should follow the captain and discover the entrance to the Throne of the Tides. Down in the maw, Wavespeaker Valoren stands just to the west of the instance entrance and offers to teleport players back to the Abyssal Depths. Inside the dungeon, the captain offers Rescue the Earthspeaker! and Sins of the Sea Witch.
There is no quick teleport back to the capital city, but remember the flight paths on the surface of the Shimmering Expanse do connect to the mainland. Additionally, The War Has Many Fronts, offered on the ships, but requires level 82, also directs players that way.
=== Submarine event transcript (before patch 5.4.8) ===
Talk to Erunak again to start the event.
:Make your preparations, <name>, but do it quickly!
:The camera cuts outside as the sub exits the cave heading toward the Abyssal Breach. Inside the sub, players are in the bridge along with the crew and Erunak.

:The sub is circling the breach, taking pot shots, but there's not much the ship can do at distance against such numbers.
:
:
:
:
:
:The camera cuts outside as Lady Naz'jar tails the ship, ordering her naga to destroy it!
:
:
:
:The ship catches fire, then crashes to the southwest of the breach. The crew escapes outside, barely.
:
:Spotted, waves of naga start attacking!
:
:The party fends off the wave, but doesn't make any progress. Realizing this, Taylor calls for help.
:
:Erunak blasts them to smithereens.
:
:
:The party moves closer, to the northeast.
:
:Another wave, but Erunak quickly tires of this.
:
:
:Moving onward, the next wave is Lady Sira'kess, who freezes the party in its tracks!
:
:
:
:
:
:
:Sira'kess summons in some tentacles, then turns and heads toward the breach, but the captain charges her through and one-shots her!
:
:
:The party reaches the last ridge before the cliff of the Breach.
:
:
:
:The camera cuts away as Nazjar's forces attack. Finally, Neptulon himself appears out of the Breach!
:
:
:
:Neptulon strikes, taking out a significant portion of Naz'jar's forces. The camera pulls back to show Neptulon and Naz'jar channeling beams of energy into each other, and more soldiers getting kidnapped again!
:
:Naz'jar unleashes her trump, Ozumat!
:
:
: attaches itself to Neptulon's "head" and Naz'jar celebrates her victory as the naga enter the breach.
:
:Afterwards, Erunak and Taylor talk, floating at the edge of the breach.
:
:
:
:
:
:A tentacle comes out of the breach and yanks Erunak down into it!
:
Speak to Taylor to conclude the quest.
On complete:
:
:Taylor swims down into the breach, which leads to the Abyssal Maw.
