A Looming Threat (Alliance)

A Looming Threat is an Alliance-only quest for level 10. It is step 18 of 25 in The Warchief's Command storyline. The quest's turn-in marker is in Teldrassil at 58.5, 89.5. It rewards 1 reputation reward, 180 experience and money.

Description

If we hope to push the Horde out of our lands, we must call upon all the strength our people have to offer.

Go, seek out the druids, the priestesses, our sentinels! Make the call to arms, and watch as the kaldorei rise to action. Only together can we hope to end the stalemate at the Wildbend River.

When you are finished, report to Malfurion Stormrage. He awaits our fleet in Rut'theran Village.

The story seems to end as of 24/07/2018 with this quest. However, if you are looking for more to do in the area, you should have some world quests than can give some nice catch-up gear for alts in the region of Darkshore until more is released.
Edit (01/08/2018): The quest line now continues upon returning to Darkshore zone, has a cinematic, and a decent reward at the end. Remainder of the quest line only takes about 20 minutes.
Also, upon completing the quest, any "Darnassus" portals you take will bring you to the shores of Darkshore. Great for getting back for the world quests that give iLvl 210+ gear.

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.

  • Long AwayLevel 10

    For every foe we slay, two more take their place. We are too few in number to stand toe to toe. We must fall back, <name>. Strategy can yet overcome numbers. We will regroup at Darnassus. I will send for Delaryn.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • A Threat from the NorthLevel 10

    The Horde must have scaled the mountains of Felwood in the North. The wisp wall is failing, it is only a matter of time before the Horde breaks through. They will attack us from both sides. We must weather this attack together.
