What a ridiculous sequence of dialogue:

Wife: Husband, I need to leave.
Husband: What? Why? We are winning.
Wife: We're playing right into the bad guy's hands.
Husband: Okay that doesn't sound good, so you're ditching?
Wife: No I'm going to stop her.
Husband: Love it, let's go.
Wife: No you stay here.
Husband: Wtf why?
Wife: You have to trust me.
Random Guy & Girl: Don't worry sir, we got her back.
Husband: The @#$%? How about you two stay here and fight off the grunts while I go with my wife? Clearly that ought to be the arrangement no?

Description

Something is very wrong. As the battle continues, each side has become more aggressive. Alleria seems to know something - she ran off at one point during the battle. We've been giving chase, but I cannot leave these soldiers to die. She's just ahead, we can reconvene with her together.

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.

  • Cutting Off the LegsHallowfall · Level 80

    While we've yet to locate Xal'atath, we've received reports from deeper in the field of certain nerubians giving orders. It won't buy us too much but every action is critical. Take them out. Hopefully that will allow us some breathing room. Speak with Anduin after you are done.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Return to DornogalHallowfall · Level 80

    The battle is finally over and I suppose it's time we lick our wounds. Head back to Dornogal, Champion. I'll be right there as soon as Khadgar is healthy enough to withstand travel.

The storyline at a glance

A Light in the Dark has 6 steps, from A Tide Needing Turned to Return to Dornogal.
