The Arathi's Last Mage - Hallowfall Side Quest Spotlight
During our travels in Hallowfall, a side quest explains the whereabouts of the expedition's last mage — and why the Arathi fight so hard to defend their new home.
After our initial jaunt through Hallowfall, General Steelstrike offers a few requests for aid of less urgent consequence than the main story, but ones with just as intriguing of premises. One such request is the desire to check in on a mage in the area — The Last Mage in Hallowfall. According to Steelstrike, everyone but him has given up hope of returning home via a portal, and being the pragmatic type, she wishes for us to give him a reality check.

Before you depart, you can speak to him on a number of matters regarding his status as a mage, as well as the nature of his current experiments. For Mage players, additional dialogue options are also available, showing your expertise in the craft he seems to be mildly fumbling with.

I was a mere apprentice when we set out, over a decade ago. My masters were core to the mission. They were to set up portals back home whenever we arrived at our destination. That way, we'd have a steady flow of supplies and reinforcements.
It was a stroke of the darkest luck that every single one died in the crash.
