A Timeless Question
Correctly answer one of Evelyna's questions about the history of Azeroth.
Location
Description
Destiny. Fate. Karma. Words like these imply that the timeways are unassailable.
Would that were the case. To this day, many of Azeroth's inhabitants yearn to change the past. Yet just as our experiences shape us, they also shape the world around us.
Consider how those threads have woven the fabric of today's reality. Cut enough threads, and causation inevitably fails, unraveling that fabric. Indeed, cutting even a single thread short can result in disaster, provided it is the right thread.
** means that the game accepts this as the right answer but its question is unclear or the answer itself does not match lore.
If a player fails to correctly answer the question or the NPC interaction window closes, the historian will ask you another random question.
