What to do
Description
Burrian gave us the coordinates of the Dark Iron base. They named it Moira's Reach. But half way through buildin' it the base got infested with goren. If you head south you should come to the structure. Just look for a big ol' cannon. We will follow as soon as we get this bloody tank untangled.
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.
- The Life Spring
So we came here cause we needed a weapon we saw the botani using. Hansel grabbed the artifact an' Scorchbrow an' I were supposed to grab the special water the thing runs on. We didn't know that water so full of life forms an elemental.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Down the Goren Hole
These beasts came at us so fast we didn't have time to mount a proper defense. They went right for the metal and chewed through any wall we had. If we don't kill some of them soon they'll bring the whole fortress down on us.
