Queue up with Chromie at Wyrmwrest Temple. The initial quest to witness her death rewards Timewarped Badge (as do some other quest sin this chain).
Chromie talks to herself at Wyrmwrest and......she dies in what seems like a coordinated attack.
You are then tasked with preventing this assassination.
You then queue again into the next part and speak with the Wyrmwrest ambassadors to collect information.
They ask you to investigate the different nearby Dragonshrines.
Bad news - Chromie dies again.
Speak to Chromie again to enter the Scenario proper.
You are in the scenario and tasked with selecting her Talents. At first it's an AOE stun vs. a Move Speed talent.
You now have 15 minutes to save Chromie.
There are NPCs at the Dragonshrines you can talk to who may have more information.
At the Azure dragonshrine you are looting Darkened Scrap of Vellum and you need 50 of them.
Other dragonshrines have different puzzles.
When you loot 50 Darkened Scrap of Vellum you get an extra action button which starts a quest for you to find an elemental on the above platforms.
Chromie uncovers a Void Gargantuan.
This Void Gargantuan drops an item that begins a quest and a Sands of Time. Sands of time allows you to choose between two different time lines (in this case a Reputation buff vs. a temporary buff, could also be extra time to the timer, treasure, Timewarped Badge, etc).
Return to Wyrmwrest
The quest item (Chronoshard) opened a portal to Mount Hyjal. This is one of many options.

Comment by S7anPI am very happy to see that you can requeue for Chromie's scenario without a cooldown. Too bad that most of us will finish it off for a few days/weeks, till we get our rewards and then forget about it...Comment by radienleesounds like its something that will be getting more content each expansionComment by NyarlothQ: Will there be any catch-up mechanics for Champion item level?
A: No plans as of yet.

I mean even WOD had a ilvl catch up for followers, on my main I already have all my followers at 900, even the inactive one, and trust me it takes a while.Comment by arthasbgIm kidna dissapointed we cant que via group finder for BT timewalking. Im personally in not a big raiding guild just in it with few friends. And considering how dumb requirements currently in premade raids i am seriosly scared about the black temple ones. The 40man MC anniversary used the raid finder. How is this any different than that?Comment by GrortraughGlad to see that Black Temple will be for pre-made groups. I'm looking forward to making pug groups with a couple guild mates.Comment by ONCHEhapIm kidna dissapointed we cant que via group finder for BT timewalking.

Ideally with your guild/raiding group, something LFR can't really handle. Queing in happens at an NPC in Shattrath.Comment by Alfa...30 thousand gold for flight paths?Comment by Alfa...30 thousand gold for flight paths?Comment by trest… the devs keep giving the frigging raiders even MORE crap to do while everyone else get shafted.farComment by Maulis425Oh look the BT TW will be using the premade group finder... unlike all the rest of the Timewalking dungeons. LFR can handle complex enough mechanics, there isn't a single fight in BT that can compete with Archimonde or Garrosh, just to name a couple. Disappointed, but not surprised at all. Mythics are great but there's 0 reason it can't be done in a LFD system, don't believe me? What is the premade group finder other than a way to find pugs?Comment by WonderbreaddLFR can handle complex enough mechanics, there isn't a single fight in BT that can compete with ArchimondeComment by JeremyS30K for a flight pathes are not that big sink tho..remember the 10K for dual spec when 10K was something like 200K now due to inflation? Ofc we now have alternative sink as a tokens...Comment by Nazthori… the devs keep giving the frigging raiders even MORE crap to do while everyone else get shafted.farComment by SolivarnikChromie scenario looked great, but then again...YOU MIGHT WANT TO WAIT BECAUSE IT TAKES TIME...Blizzard, stop it already, stop ruining great ideas with that terrible waiting idle game style.Comment by boxdel1When is magni scenario commingComment by neoslayyer… the devs keep giving the frigging raiders even MORE crap to do while everyone else get shafted.far
