A King Among Men

Description

There's no time to waste, we need to find Troteman and secure the beach.

We should check on the dwarves, too - the Explorers' League is tough, but they're no army. They should be along the cliff just north of here.

Let us ride, <class>. For our friends. For the Alliance.

Where to go

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Meet the ScoutLevel 15-35

    It has been two months since the parting of the mists. Alliance scouts, seeking a suitable landing site for the fleet, have engaged Horde forces on a beach in Krasarang Wilds. Meet with Scout Lynna and help secure the landing site.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Lion's LandingLevel 15-35

    For too long the Horde has been allowed to run rampant across Azeroth. I will not see these new lands conquered by some barbaric "warchief." Are you ready to bring Alliance justice to the shores of Pandaria? Let us return to the landing site.
