Description

We must move quickly, {name}. I must save as many of my people as I can before the attack begins. Word has gotten out in the city that there is a safe haven with us and some no longer fear exile.

Where to go

Pins are the quest’s own POI points from the current retail client, projected onto the in-game zone map. The game marks one blob as the quest’s turn-in; the rest are objective areas. Points that fall outside a map’s window are dropped rather than guessed at.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Taking a PromenadeSuramar · Level 45

    We must learn much about our long-lost kin if we are to fight them. We dispatched one of our scouts to infiltrate the Promenade and gather intelligence. The Sentinels sent their own scout as well, hopefully she is smart enough to not get herself killed before reporting in.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Crystal ClearingSuramar · Level 45

    This portal is a problem. With it they can summon countless reserves. The crystals nearby seem to be powering the gate. If we destroy those, we can set them back significantly.
