The quest chain is a reference to the game Darkest Dungeon, based on the game's narrator's quotes. In case anyone is curious, I will post which quotes are referenced. Bear in mind, I am not posting the entire quotes on some, as they are lengthy. But if you want me to post entire quotes, then ask.
Ruin has come: references the intro cinamatic, "Ruin has come to our family. You remember our venerable house, opulent and imperial. Gazing proudly from its stoic perch above the moor."

Flush them out: references the cleanse expedition, "These salt-soaked caverns are teeming with pelagic nightmares. They must be flushed out!"

Trinkets and Baubles: references the wagon, "Trinkets and charms, gathered from all the forgotten corners of the earth"

The Weight of my Ambition: references the drowned crew(seems the captain in game also references the game), "While the greedy dogs slept off their revelry, I hexed their anchor with every twisted incantation I could muster. Imbuing it with the weight of my ambition, and my contempt for their crude extortion."

Indefatigable Purpose: references not using a shovel to clear debris, "Without tools of iron, you must rely on flesh and indefatigable purpose."

Malign Inspiration: references the siren(seems the enchanted siren also hints to the game too), "The pact struck, my newfound accomplices slipped silently beneath the brackish water. A fearful stirring at the edge of the torchlight betrayed a familiar witness, and gifted me with malign inspiration."

This is the start of a 6 quest chain in the Forgotten Cove.

After attempting to get to this area for about a week, the "Difficult of breathe" debuff was lifted from this area, as it went from being named Shrine of the Storm to Forgotten Cove.

The second quest - Flush them out - Investigate and defeat what lies in four caves.

The third quest - Trinkets and Baubles - Recover three crates of stolen supplies. (While loots the last crate I "left" the Forgotten Cove and entered Shrine of the Storm, which in turn ported me out for it being "difficult of breathe")

The fourth quest - The Weight of my Ambition - Drowned Captain slain.

The fifth quest - Indefatigable Purpose - Three drown alters cleansed.

The sixth quest - Malign Inspiration - Enchanting Siren slain. (The quest text was quite interesting on this one. There isn't enough characters allowed to type them all out, but this one was worth mentioning.)

This chain is a lot of running back and fourth. Quests 2, 3, and 5 have you running to the same spots to gather or complete a task.
I have submitted 3 screenshots, one of the NPC Wayne the Ancestral, another of the Quest pickup/turn in location on the map, and the last just a little fun mistake I ran into while running around the area.

EDIT: I wanted to add the quest rewards, which all rewarded gold. Q1. 2g 34s, Q2. 23g 40s, Q3. 23g 40s, Q4. 46g 80s, Q5. 23g 40s, Q6. 46g 80s.

To find Wayne l'Ancestral you have to travel to 78.7 55.1 spot, Lost Estate area.
He's inside the estate, standing on the bottom level.

Id column is approximate quest № In Stormsong Valley storyline (Chante, ô rage <= for more info)

I have done this questchain 3 times on beta and quest order was always different.
Sometimes i had to die to get the next quest.(probably a bug)

Update: On Beta The final reward after you complete all the quests was Torche imbibée de poix but it never worked so i think blizzard just decided to remove it.
Need confirmation about the toy

Commentaire de Nithu

Does anyone know what the trigger for this quest is? I've done everything in the vicinity, but am unable to pick up this quest.

Commentaire de Aoir

This is 100% a reference to Darkest Dungeon. Not only is his outfit similar to what the Ancestor wore in Darkest Dungeon, look at what Wayne is surrounded b y when you find him: Portraits, shields/crests and busts. All key heirloom items you have to find in Darkest Dungeon to upgrade the Hamlet that serves as your base in the game.

Commentaire de gmack28

This quest line will have you killing yourself over and over...

Commentaire de Incandio

You can clear your "Strain" bar by clicking on various sparkling items. There is one in each chamber that needs to be "cleared."

Commentaire de Ogrot

I know everybody's pointed out the clear Darkest Dungeon references in this quest line, but I immediately saw it as an H.P. Lovecraft/At the Mountains of Madness nod before Darkest Dungeon (itself heavily Lovecraft-inspired) dawned on me.

Commentaire de theAnton

Whoever designed this quest chain needs to be moved to the WoW: Classic team ASAP! ;)

Commentaire de ZeroOrigin

An example for a perfect reference. Even the quests and everything is fitting for Darkest Dungeon references <3

Commentaire de Samaramon1

If you're looking to start this chain: DON'T. It doesn't lead anywhere, it doesn't give you any rep, it is buggy as HELL and incredibly repetitive, you die a LOT during it, and in the end, all you get is about 300 azerite. It's not worth it, spare yourself a headache and a lot of time.

Commentaire de Habu64

Completion of this quest line opens up WQs on this island to include Plunder and Provisions which provides Honorbound and 7th Legion Reputation.

Commentaire de RopeDrink

This entire chain is a love-letter to Darkest Dungeon. Everything from the quest text, the quests themselves (and its randomized nature), the enemies (and their abilities), the debuff mechanic (strain, ie. "stress"), and even the NPC's themselves, such as "Wayne the Ancestral", reference to Wayne June, voice of the DD narrator. Even the Blacksmith NPC on-site looks just like the darkest dungeon Smith - that's how much detail has been incorporated, as well as various other NPC's, such as the 'Silent Hunter' looking very much like everyone's favourite "..." Bounter Hunter. The text is slightly different (obviously they can't just copy/paste it) but the in-jokes, memes and references are easy to spot for anyone familiar with the dungeon crawler.

You're in for the dreaded artery pinching / claw-slamming crustaceans, stress inducing acolytes/cultists... even the grave-nibble larvae.

-----

As for the WoW side of it, I see a lot of people misinterpreting the mechanics; claiming they've had to kill themselves to remove the buff. If you pay attention to the first quest (or the extra dialogue option that appears @ Wayne when you have accumulated stress), you are pointed in the direction of a purification effigy at the tip of the island. The debuff is removed by purging your 'strain' (stress) at the item and killing the mob produced by doing so. There is no need to suicide.

As for the quests, they're not bugged - they're slightly randomized, much like how Darkest Dungeon works. There are around five caves of importance, thus you may be required to visit 3/5 and find the randomly spawned items, hence you may need repeat visits.

Now, if you'll excuse me, it's time to make some more dankest dungeon memes:

Generally, I really enjoy the references Blizzard works into this game. Often, I'm happy to see something else I like nodded to in a game I really love. Other times, I might look up the quest here, find out the reference, and check the thing out that I didn't know about before - the folks at Blizzard know some cool stuff. However, this quest chain was agonizing and has inadequate payoff. Some Azerite and *A* world quest is not worth the weeks of waiting I had to do or the frustration in actually completing these quests. At least give us an achievement for suffering through this. Or a mount.

Suffering and madness is the point, fans of Darkest Dungeon might say? Not for something I pay a substantial subscription fee for quite a few years end generally expect to enjoy my time on. I was *lucky* enough to happen upon this when it was no longer possible to kill myself to complete the quests faster. That means Blizzard knew what people were doing, what they hated, got the feedback, and DOUBLED DOWN to make this MORE unpleasant for anyone else coming after. Dang, man. That is not how I would have expected them to deal with feedback.

Why did I bother going through the quest chain? Because I effing love questing and whenever I pick something up, I have to complete it. It's like finishing books you've hated because of a similar compulsion to finish books and other things you start.

There's a lot in Battle for Azeroth I really like. On the whole, I'd say it's a good expansion. There's a lot about WoW in general that I like, nay love, like I love some bands... even through their lesser albums. This is the one song that went on too long that wasn't very good that probably shouldn't have been on the album in the first place. It was a love letter to some fans while it made many others violently ill.

It would give me great pleasure to see this island simply disappear in some future patch. I wouldn't feel bad about wasted time. I'd just be happy the island is gone. Maybe I'm wrong. Apparently a couple million people liked Darkest Dungeon. I will definitely not be checking out that game.

Commentaire de MykauXemnas

"Ruin has come to our family. You remember our venerable house. Opulent and imperial. Gazing from it's stoic perch above the moor. I lived all my years in that ruined, rumor-shadowed manor. Fattened by decadence and luxury. And yet, I began to tire of conventional extravagance. Singular, unsettling tales suggested the mansion itself was a gateway to some fabulous and unnameable power. With relic and ritual, I bent every effort towards the excavation and recovery of those long bearing secrets. Exhausting what remained of our family fortune on swarthy workmen and sturdy shovels. At last in the salts of soaked crags beneath the lowest foundations, we unearthed that damnable portal antediluvian evil. Our every step unsettled the ancient earth, but we were in a realm of death and madness. In the end, I alone fled laughing and wailing through those blackened arcades of antiquity. Until consciousness failed me. You remember our venerable house. Opulent and imperial. It is a festering abomination! I beg you... Return home! Claim your birthright! And deliver our family, from the ravenous and clutching shadows, But the Darkest Dungeon."
