Description

The Twilight's Hammer wants to free Fandral Staghelm? Malfurion suspected his corruption ran deep... this just cements it. At any rate we cannot allow our enemies to get their hands on such a powerful arch druid. I've a plan, {name}. We will move the prisoner through the Emerald Dream. It will be risky, but with all the cultists present here it might be the only way to guarantee our success. Speak to Saynna Stormrunner inside the Barrow Dens to the northeast.

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.

  • Return to AlysraMount Hyjal · Level 30-35

    I thank you for freeing me, <name>. I will tell our allies of my findings. I suggest that you return to the emerald dragon that sent you. The Twilight's Hammer does not just seek to gain territory with this particular attack. They're also after a prisoner.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Through the DreamMount Hyjal · Level 30-35

    Alysra's plan might be necessary, <name>. I don't know how much longer we can hold off the cultists. Fandral Staghelm is bound by powerful spells. He won't be able to escape you, even inside the Emerald Dream.
