Taken from the storyline's own step order.
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.
Taken from the storyline's own step order.

Return of the Scourge has 15 steps, from Securing the Area to With Hope in Hand.
Maps its steps are placed on (steps per map): Icecrown (12), Orgrimmar (2), Stormwind City (1).
Steps of this storyline count toward:
Steps, storylines and map placement from the client’s QuestLine, prerequisite and QuestPOI data; neighbouring quest text is Blizzard’s own (quest API), shortened to its opening sentences.
