Description
Darkness has fallen. We can't rest yet. <Faerin gives you a weary smile, but there is a light in her eyes.> The light from the tower will hold the worst dangers in the darkness at bay. It's my duty, as a Lamplighter, to keep all the towers blazing. My patrol takes me to Lorel's Crossing by air next. I would welcome you and Anduin at my side, for all our sakes.
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.

After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Tricks of the Dark
Kobyss lurk in the shallows of murky water and snatch any who come near, faster than a viper! And that's just when they hunt alone. In numbers, they are a swarm to be reckoned with. They've been a plague on our outskirt villages since the day we arrived. They eat victims alive, given the chance.
