==Scenario==
===Outside in Dragonblight===
Near each of the Dragonshines (and Wyrmrest Temple) are five rare elites. While you are not required to fight them, it is advised you do so. They have small health pools, their damage is low, they always spawn and they drop between 1-4 Sands of Time each. 
*Iceshatter outside the Emerald Dragonshrine.
*Bloodfeast outside the Azure Dragonshrine.
*Icefist outside the Obsidian Dragonshrine.
*Dregmar Runebrand outside the Ruby Dragonshrine.
*Bonesunder around Wyrmrest Temple.
===Obsidian Dragonshrine===
In order to save Chromie, you must kill Zorathides.
====First time====
If this is your first time, you must first make your way through the Obsidian Dragonshrine in the far north. Go into the cave, up the ramp, across the interweaving path, kill the Charredbone Goliath. After this, run back outside and turn left while exiting. Zorathides is on the right side of the entrance if the goliath has already been slain.
====Lore====
It all started when Chromie noticed Wrathion going to the Obsidian Dragonshrine. She didn't know why but decided not to follow.
It is revealed that a demon, named Zorathides, has raised the smoldering undead as a distraction in order to release a clear shot spell at Wyrmrest Temple to kill Chromie.
======Interference======
An adventurer and past Chromie appear and ask Wrathion to explain. He told them that an unknown demonic force has occupied the abandoned Obsidian Dragonshrine. While his father was evil, he told them that he would never partner with the Burning Legion. The adventurer and Chromie go deep in the cave and after facing Smoldering Geist, Smoldering Skeleton, Smoldering Construct, they come face to face with a Charredbone Goliath. With its defeat, the dreadlord reveals himself, telling his master that he only needs a clear shot. The two of them search outside the dragonshrine and found him hiding. They kill him and one of Chromie's assassins is taken care of.
====Time-saving tips====
*Once the goliath has been looted, the demon will always be located in the same place outside the cave.
*The goliath is on the left side arm at the end of the criss-crossed Ragefire Chasm-style part of the cave with bridges. There is also a 1-way exit on this side that leads back to the entrance of the cave.
===Ruby Dragonshrine===
In order to save Chromie, you must kill Talar Icechill.
====First time====
If this is your first time, you must first acquire Soul Crystal to reveal Talar Icechill. To achieve this you must combine three Soul Crystal Fragment to create it. These fragments are obtained from Talar's lieutenants; Earlis the Deathrider, Alyndriel Graveborn, Festerbloat.
When obtained, go inside the tree and Chromie will summon Talar.
====Lore====
At the Ruby Dragonshrine, Sanctum Guardian Xerestrasza is leading the defense against the undead. She explains that while a ghoul or two attack the dragonshrine daily, today was different. An army of undead marched on them and their leader hid himself inside the middle tree. 
It is revealed that Talar Icechill is ready to launch an attack on Chromie. The lich will cast a necromatic spell that will hit Wyrmrest Temple and kill Chromie.
 
======Interference======
An adventurer and past Chromie appear and ask Xerestrasza to explain. They both agree to help defend the dragonshrine and find out who is behind this. They kill the attacker's lieutenants and create a Soul Crystal to reveal the Lich. They kill him and one of Chromie's assassins is taken care of.
====Time-saving tips====
*The abomination miniboss is on the northeastern side of the tree, away from the rest of the minibosses.
*After you open a portal at Wyrmrest Temple, you can simply kill the lich without taking care of his lieutenants. The cave entrance is located on the south side of the tree.
===Emerald Dragonshrine===
In order to save Chromie, you must kill Thalas Vylethorn.
====First time====
If this is your first time, you must kill Emerald Lashers and Emerald Skytalons. They drop Emeraldine Plumes and Twisted Fibers which if you have 6 plumes and 10 Fibers, you will create a Nightmare-Catcher.
Once you have one of the Nightmare-Catchers, you can go to the sleepless ancients Elder Aldera, Bloombeard and Barkhyron. Once there activate the Nightmare-Catcher, you must kill the Dream Tormentors. Each ancient will give you a clue to Chromie murderer. You must put all three to rest before you can summon Thalas Vylethorn. Once you are at the skeletal dragon's claw, Chromie will summon Thalas Vylethorn. Kill him and Chromie is saved. 
====Lore====
It all started when Lord Itharius learned of the ancients at Emerald Dragonshrine. He doesn't know why and entrusts Nishera the Garden Keeper to figure it out. 
It is revealed that a demon named Thalas Vylethorn, has been behind the ancients restlessness from the Emerald Nightmare. He plans to release a clear shot spell at Wyrmrest Temple to kill Chromie.
======Interference======
An adventurer and past Chromie appear and ask Nishera the Garden Keeper to explain. She says that the ancients can't sleep anymore. They agree to help Nishera find the cause of this problem. They started to kill Emerald Lashers and Emerald Skytalons in order to get Emeraldine Plumes and Twisted Fibers to create a Nightmare-Catcher.
They do this three times and go to the ancients Elder Aldera, Bloombeard, Barkhyron and ease them by killing their Dream Tormentors from the Emerald Nightmare. The three ancient reveal the location of the one responsible for the ancients unrest. A satyr named Thalas Vylethorn is behind the attack. The two of them search around the dragonshrine and found him hiding under a dead dragon's claw. They kill him and one of Chromie's assassins is taken care of.
====Time-saving tips====
*Make use of ranged abilities to pull the Skytalon birds together, as they are quite spread out.
*The satyr demon will always be located in the same place, so simply go to him.
===Azure Dragonshrine===
In order to save Chromie, you must kill the Void Gargantuan.
====First time====
Immediately rush to the bottom of the Azure Dragonshrine and start killing Leyline Elementals and Ley Wyrms. Kill enough of them until you are able to loot 50 Darkened Scrap of Vellum. Combine the pieces to create a Voidcallers' Scroll. 
Fly to the top of the right floating platform and wait for Chromie to summon the Void Gargantuan. Start moving and dodging when he casts the Shadow Zones, as they deal high damage. Kill the void lord and you win.
====Lore====
It all started when Kalecgos notices the Ley lines acting strangely. He didn't think much of it as it is normal for Ley lines to be a bit unstable at the Azure Dragonshrine. 
It is revealed that a Void Gargantuan is planning to use the Ley lines to release a clear shot spell at Wyrmrest Temple to kill Chromie.
======Interference======
An adventurer and past Chromie appear and ask Cyrrigos to explain. He tells them that while it is normal for ley lines acting strangely, he believes that something is disturbing them for their own purpose.
The adventurer and past Chromie go down on the grounds of the Azure Dragonshrine. After killing Leyline Elementals and Ley Wyrms, they gather 50 Darkened Scrap of Vellum. 
Combining them together they created a Voidcallers' Scroll. They fly to the top of one of the platforms and summon the one who had been causing the confusion in the ley lines, Void Gargantuan. They kill it and one of Chromie's assassins is taken care of.
====Time-saving tips====
*The void lord will always be located on the same platform so simply go to him.
*The arcane walkers seem to drop slightly more scroll fragments than the other mobs.
===The Well of Eternity===
In order to save Chromie, you must rush through the Well of Eternity and defeat Grolethax.
The Well of Eternity is a race against time. It is a long run that will require you to get to Grolethax and kill him as soon as possible. On the grounds of the well, there are many mobs with slow down ability that will slow you down to waste your time. After you made it to Queen Azshara's Palace, mount up and rush to Grolethax. The demon is located at the place where you fought the first boss in the Well of Eternity. If you don't have Tyrande's Moonstone, this may take a while.
====Lore====
Before the heroes arrive to claim the Demon Soul in order to defeat Deathwing, Chromie arrived early and was burned by felfire (presumably by Grolethax). Her dying body is discovered by her present-day Chromie and an adventurer. In order to save herself, Chrome needs to get her past self through the portal which Nozdormu opens to retrieve the Demon Soul. However, a demon named Grolethax is trying to prevent the dragon from leaving so she can die in the past.
Chromie and the adventurer rush to the demon and kill him, allowing her past self to be saved.
====Time-saving tips====
*Avoid confrontations at all costs.
*Grolethax needs to die, an invisible wall blocks your way if he is still alive.
*The transport portal can only be used when out of combat, but if you are a night elf, you can cheese it by getting to the portal leading to Queen Azshara's Palace and Shadowmeld if chased. However, this still needs some luck, as Chromie's AI may get stuck fighting monsters along the way.
===The Burning of Mount Hyjal===
In order to save Chromie, you must survive five waves of monsters.
Chromie needs to be defended in this portal. On the first wave, you must take out a Searing Overlord and four Flame Hounds. On the second wave, you must take out a Searing Overlord and four Seething Pyrelords. On the third wave, you must take out a Firelord. On the fourth wave, you must take out ten Blazing Phoenixes. On the last wave, you must take out a Fiery Behemoth. If you don't have the Brimstone Beacon, you will be forced to fight through the waves. 
====Lore====
During the Cataclysm, adventurers were sent to Sethria's Roost take out large fire elemental. Chromie was one possible follower who would appear. 
Regardless of how events transpired, Chromie has been beaten and just before a Fiery Behemoth appears to finish the job, an adventurer from the future comes by and gives Chromie enough time to gather her energy and hearthstone away. 
 
====Time-saving tips====
*This is one of those events that will take you some time. if you don't have a Brimstone Beacon, engage ALL THE ENEMIES and down them as fast as possible.
*AoE spells are suggested when dealing with the waves.
*To grab them all, kite them next to one another as Chromie will try to freeze them in place if you get too far away from them.
*Rush immediately to the downed Chromie (not the companion Chromie), as the waves will only start when you get close to her.
===Battle for Andorhal===
In order to save Chromie, you must destroy the opposite faction's siege cannon.
If you don't have the Cenarion Circle Documents, you will have to destroy the cannon yourself. However, initially attacking it is a waste of time. You need to remove the buffs Electrokinetic Defense Grid and Heavy Iron Plating before doing so.
To remove Electrokinetic Defense Grid you need to loot the Lightning Absorption Capsule. (If you are Alliance you need to kill Roobi Skizzelvolt, If you are Horde you need to kill Gatzin Zapwrench)
To remove Heavy Iron Plating you need to loot the Experimental Alchemy Reagent. (If you are Alliance you need to kill Apothecary Tillings, If you are Horde you need to kill Potionmaster Donovan)
However, even with these buff removed, the cannon still has a lot of health. To fully destroy the cannon, you need to loot the Military Explosives. (If you are Alliance you need to kill Deathguard War-Captain, If you are Horde you need to kill Alliance Force-Commander).
Depending on your buffs, you will require between 1-3 Military Explosives. 
When the cannon is destroyed, you have saved Chromie and can return via the portal to Wyrmrest Temple.
====Lore====
======Main quest======
Presumably taking place after the Scourge was driven out of Andorhal, Chromie used to reside in Andorhal before the Alliance and the Horde. While the first time she left with is not problem, this time she is being attacked from both sides. With two cannons firing at the Town Hall, Chromie is trapped.
Chromie's future self arrives with an adventurer and travel around the city to get materials to blow up the cannon. Once one cannon is destroyed, Chromie is able to escape.
======Cenarion's aid======
Unhappy with watching both sides killing each other, the tauren Adrine Towhide is found inside the town hall healing the wounded from both sides. Should she receive the Cenarion Circle Documents, she will take out the cannon for Chromie.
====Faction champions====
There are several named powerful NPCs running around, killing them will yield Sands of Time.
	
	
	
	
	
	
====Time-saving tips====
*You are only required to kill Gatzin Zapwrench/Roobi Skizzelvolt (for Alliance characters) and Potionmaster Donovan/Apothecary Tillings (for Horde characters).
*You may want to ignore the other champions as they only drop Sands of Time, have a lot of health and have nasty abilities that will either keep you in place (root), heal, or knock you back which will waste time.
===The culling of Stratholme===
In order to save Chromie, you must make your way to the Crusaders' Square and kill Nezar'Azret.
If you don't have the Stratholme Gate Key, you will have to go to Emery Neill for the Town Hall Door Key. This requires you to run errands for Emery around Stratholme.

He asks the adventurer to deliver the flowers to Orphan Matron Meliana and tell her they are for the kids. She immediately realizes that they are intended for her and blushes. Meliana has a crush on Emery, but she also won't admit it, calling Emery a big dummy. Soon after Arthas appears and kills of one of the citizens. Afraid for her safety and the orphans, she asks the adventurer to bring her some supplies to defend herself with. One of those supplies was some Salted Venison Jerky and when you bring it to her, she asks the adventurer to deliver it to Emery. When Emery receives it, he gives a soft smile.
