Cataclysm Prologue - Elemental Invasions Started

The elemental invasions just started, new quests NPCs are available in capital cities and elementals will randomly spawn in zones!

New quest NPCs are available in capital cities.
Elementals will randomly spawn in questing zones, destroying the rifts in those zones will reward you with Tripping the Rifts.

Tripping the Rifts achievement


Rifts appears everywhere, including Northrend and Outland. (Apparently, this isn't true anymore and you might be able to get your achievement by destroying rifts anywhere, you won't be able to loot lower levels Mysterious Objects)
Rifts seems to spawn at the beginning of each hour (01:00AM, 02:00AM, etc) pretty much everywhere in the zone, however there are confusing reports about this and some people reported them spawning in the middle of the hour. If you arrive in a zone and can't find rifts, you probably just have to wait for a respawn.
You have to kill rifts of your own levels to get the achievements, if you're level 80 look for them in Northrend.
Rifts are destroyed by killing elementals, each elemental death lowers the health of the rift.
The Mysterious Object looted from rifts gives a daily quest with gold/XP reward.
