Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Advancing the Effort
While the other crusaders regain control of the tournament grounds, you and I must press on. Our forces previously attempted to set up a forward camp farther into Icecrown, but they were overrun. With you by our side, I am confident we can reclaim the area.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Cult Couture
Though our scouts have been able to infiltrate the cultist forces at Aldur'thar, sneaking into Mord'rethar has proven all but impossible. Perhaps it is time to explore other methods of ingress. Start by investigating the cult's nearby ritual chambers. You may find something of use.
