I know of one or two of us who have been working on this quest chain which, by the way, is a long long chain that ends (does it ever end?) with a reward of the [url=http://www.thottbot.com/?i=60250]Tempest key[/url], which gets you into The Eye (Tempest Keep).  Like Ony's lair, everyone must have this key to enter.  The chain starts with a quest called [url=http://www.thottbot.com/?qu=10514]I Was A Lot Of Things[/url], given by [url=http://www.thottbot.com/?n=1057933]Oronok Torn-heart[/url] of Shadowmoon Valley.  This link provides a list of the first phase of the chain.  After finishing the last quest in this phase, [url=http://www.thottbot.com/?qu=10588]The Cipher of Damnation[/url], you receive a letter in the mail which takes you back to Shattrath where [url=http://www.thottbot.com/?n=1049767]A'dal[/url] will start you on phase 2 of the chain.

Ok, think things were a pain up to this point?  Well, here's where things get a bit sticky.  Phase 2 consists of three quests:  [url=http://www.thotbott.com/?qu=10884]Trial of the Naaru: Mercy[/url], [url=http://www.thotbott.com/?qu=10885]Trial of the Naaru: Strength[/url], and [url=http://www.thotbott.com/?qu=10886]Trial of the Naaru: Tenacity[/url].  These quests consist of visiting the Shattered Halls of Hellfire Citadel, Coilfang Steamvaults, Shadow Labyrinth of Auchindoun and Arcatraz of Tempest Keep.  Oh, I forgot to mention, these quests must be done in the dungeons' [b:311bbefdb3]Heroic modes![/b:311bbefdb3]

I'm not really up to par on exactly what Heroic mode means, other that it's substantially more difficult with more l33t drops than Regular mode and that obtaining the keys to to Heroic mode requires faction rep.  I don't know if these take a standard 5 man group or what.  And, mainly pugging it, I haven't had much luck with anything beyond the first two instances in Hellfire Citadel yet in Regular mode!  Granted, I've been playing at nights - groups aren't very hopping on my current schedule.  But still...  Dang!

Has anyone else made it to phase 2 yet?  Is there even a chance working toward this and other similar goals is something FSE is going to be able to accomplish any time soon?  I hope we start scheduling instances and raids again as we once did.  I know the push is to try to get more peeps to 70 but it sure would be nice to start accomplishing things as a group again.

By the way, in doing a little research in order to have this post make even some small amount of sense I ran across a basic [url=http://www.freep.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20070129/BLOG12/70129005/1035]guide[/url] which provides information on getting inside Outland dungeons.
