What to do
Description
We've seen countless ships sail past the shore to the southeast, but most pass by inconspicuously. Several days ago, however, a powerful storm carried several of the ships to shore and left them wrecked. I'd bet a pint of Nethergarde Bitter that they were Horde ships if I didn't love Nethergarde Bitter so much. I can pay you gold, though, if you'll go check out those ships and report back.

Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Minor Distractions
Nethergarde has stood steadfast for years against the demon onslaught that plagues this land. Our watch is never-ending, our vigilance unfaltering, and our courage bottomless. We have held these lands since the portal opened, but now these Horde insects have the insolence to stand in our way!?
After this quest

- Eliminate the Okril'lon
The Horde are a nuisance that we will deal with, but they are proving more difficult than previously expected. You are to put a stop to this. To the west of Nethergarde, the Okril'lon main forces press on our defenses.
