To Valanaar is one of those early Skyborn quests that takes longer to walk than to finish. There is nothing to kill and nothing to collect — the whole objective is reaching one person, and that person happens to be sitting at the top of the tallest wooden structure in the village. The only thing that trips people up is the tower itself, because the interior staircase does not run all the way to the top.
Quick answer: Travel to Valanaar in the southeastern corner of Zephras Isle, enter the big tower, climb the interior spiral staircase, exit left onto the outer ramp, and turn the quest in to Valennia Stormfist.
Valanaar location on the Zephras Isle map
Zephras Isle is the Skyborn starting area, and Valanaar is the settlement tucked into its southeastern corner. Open the map and you will see it below the other named stops on the isle — Thendar Grove, Shen’dar Village and Falaath Village all sit further north and west. Valanaar is the southernmost of the group, so if you are heading anywhere but down and right, you are going the wrong way.
A stone path runs down into the village, and the tower is impossible to miss once you are close — it is the large wooden structure rising above the rooftops. Follow the path straight to its base rather than circling the village.
How to climb the Valanaar tower to the turn-in
A green circle marks the turn-in spot on the minimap and on the ground, so if it is not getting closer as you climb, back up to the landing and check the left-hand doorway again.
Turning in To Valanaar and confirming it completed
Valennia Stormfist <Peacekeeper Captain> is waiting in the top room with a yellow question mark above her head. Talk to her, click through with Continue, and the quest closes out. You will see “To Valanaar completed.” in the chat log along with 90 experience — that confirmation line is the only proof you need.
| Detail | Value |
|---|---|
| Zone | Zephras Isle (Skyborn start) |
| Settlement | Valanaar, southeastern corner |
| Turn-in NPC | Valennia Stormfist, Peacekeeper Captain |
| Where | Top room of the village tower |
| Experience | 90 |
The quest before it, Deliver the Signal, pays out 90 experience, 1 silver 57 copper and 250 reputation with the High Order, so the two sit back to back in the log. Around the same point you will also be carrying Unswerving Silence, which tracks 0/10 Skyborn Silenced along with collection counters for Broad Claw, Poisonous Toadstool and Wailing Grotto Myco.
What to do in Valanaar next
Valanaar is worth learning your way around because it keeps coming back. Return to Valanaar sends you along the same road from the East Pylon Watchtower after you pick it up from Yorana Windyreed, and it ends in the same council chamber at the top of the tower — the interior stairs, the balcony walkway, the top room, all identical.
A Grand Adventure is the other one to knock out while you are in the area, at the southern end of Valanaar. It is not a combat quest either. Walk up to Supreme Magister Elaadrin Evengale and simply stand there while he talks about the Kirin Tor and exploring Azeroth, letting the dialogue play out overhead.
When he finishes, the objective ticks over and a yellow question mark appears above him. Speak to him again to hand the quest in and collect the experience.
None of this is difficult, but the tower layout is the one genuine snag on Zephras Isle. Remember the left-hand doorway on the middle landing and every Valanaar quest that ends at the top of that tower becomes a straight run.
