Description

A letter arrived for me. No seal, no name. Just folded parchment and handwriting I'd recognize anywhere. It didn't say much. He never wastes words. I've known his family a long time. When they reach out, I answer.

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.

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • No Loose EndsEversong Woods · Level 80-90

    You handled yourself well. These documents are too important to pass through couriers or ravens. I'd like you to deliver them personally to Lor'themar. He'll want to see the truth for himself and know who brought it back. Keep them close, and don't let anyone else near them.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • One by OneZul'Aman · Level 90

    Every last cultist is a threat to the people we're trying to save. To Silvermoon itself. Blasted fanatics with blood on their hands and no intention of letting anyone walk out alive. We're already in the camp. Let's make it count. I want them to feel this.
