Description

Welcome to the front lines, commander, where the wastelands and the jungle collide.

The battle below rages on, but I believe one side is beginning to overwhelm the other. This cannot be allowed to happen.

The gronnlings are gaining an upper hand and must be stopped before they pose a threat to Highpass.

I will get closer to the battle while you thin their ranks. Meet me within Affliction Ridge when you are done.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Seedbearers of Bad NewsGorgrond · Level 15-40

    When these seedbearers are slain their seeds survive. From them spring new seedbearers, not over years, but hours. Leaving their remains here would soon cause the outpost to be overrun. We have learned that burning their remains prevents this from happening.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • We Have CompanyGorgrond · Level 15-40

    Commander, I've spotted Iron Horde soldiers nearby. It is bold, even for them, to venture into such deadly territory. If we do not deal with their presence, they will surely be a threat to your camp. While I scout deeper into the canyons, may I request your help in investigating the camp?
