[70] A Dark Pact takes place at and around Manaforge Ara.

Gan'arg Warp-Tinker slain (6): I could only find 3 of these guys so I recomend killing 3 of them first then do the other 2 mobs you need to kill and come back and kill these guys once you finish since they will have respawned. (29.44 at the base of the tube)

Daughter of Destiny slain (3): This mob is a bit harder than the other 2 seeing as you are almost guarenteed to always have a Sunfury Nethermancer add. There is almost always 1 Daughter of Destiny at each of the camps outside of Manaforge Ara.

Mo'arg Warp-Master slain (3): Inside Manaforge Ara you will see about 4 of these guys. They almost always come alone unless you agro some mobs inside Ara.

Hope this helps.

Description

We've been so blind, {name}, that the alliance of two of our most dangerous enemies went completely unnoticed. I wouldn't be surprised if the Scryers had something to do with hiding this information from us, but we must now face the reality. The Burning Legion and Kael'thas' Sunfury army serve under the same banner. These demons are the only reason Kael'thas was ever able to utilize the technology in Tempest Keep. Under Orelis's orders I must command you to destroy them.

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.

  • Outside AssistanceNetherstorm · Level 25-30

    The Sunfury briefings support the theory that Kael'thas has been receiving outside help in constructing and running these manaforges. Who this is remains a bit of a mystery, though we're likely to find out in Manaforge Ara. I've sent a group of my men to scout the surrounding area.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Aldor No MoreNetherstorm · Level 25-30

    My mission here is finished. I did what Orelis ordered me to - I've never failed to. No more. I foresee a great carnage - a crusade, they'll call it - following the news of this alliance between Kael'thas and the Burning Legion.
