Lilian Voss: What are you doing here? Get out of here!
Player: I'm here to rescue you.
Lilian Voss: First of all, I don't need to be rescued. Second of all, I'd never allow myself to be rescued by an abomination like you!
Player: Why did the Scarlet Crusade put you in a cage? They usually kill the undead on sight.
Lilian Voss: I'm NOT undead! Not for long, anyway. My father will rescue me, I know it...
Player: Your father?

Chat text after you click through Lilian's text:

Lilian Voss says: Yes, my... wait, be quiet! I hear the lieutenant approaching.
Scarlet Lieutenant Gebler says: The time has come, my little captive... word has come back from your father.
Lilian Voss says: Gebler, you came! What did he say?
Scarlet Lieutenant Gebler says: High Priest Voss denounces you as a daughter. He's ordered that you be executed immediately.
Lilian Voss says: What? NO! This can't be! Gebler, you know me... we were friends once!
Scarlet Lieutenant Gebler says: The High Priest sends his regrets. He had hoped that one day you would be a powerful weapon against our enemies.
Scarlet Lieutenant Gebler says: Unfortunately, you were too dangerous in life, and you're far too dangerous in undeath. I will enjoy killing you, you Scourged witch...
Lilian Voss says: Gebler, father, why would you...
[At this point, Gebler attempts to kill Lilian, but she presses through her prison bars and kills him instead.]
Lilian Voss says: The world of the living may have turned its back on me, but I'm no damned Scourge. Just go.

Do you have to be Forsaken to do this quest? I and my partner tried it with 2 Blood Elves (she was sick of Quel'thalas, so she moved to Tirisfal to quest there), and we can get the quest, but we can't talk to Voss.

UPDATE: Tried with Forsaken character. Quest is borked, at least on Wyrmrest Accord server - ticket filed by my partner.

Description

Lieutenant Gebler: How curious that you would decide to take a prisoner... an undead one at that. What were you thinking? Do you think that, just because of the prisoner's former status, that she would be above the edicts of the Scarlet Crusade? This is most troubling, Gebler. I would remind you that there are penalties for such behavior. I command you to execute the prisoner at once. She is no longer one of us.

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.

  • Reaping the ReapersTirisfal Glades · Level 1-30

    Humans are notoriously fickle creatures. The farmers to the west are no exception. Sure, they may be plowing their fields peacefully now, but tomorrow, they may be raising their scythes against us. The Alliance looms close by in Gilneas, and the power of Stormwind looms to the south...

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • The Scarlet PalisadeTirisfal Glades · Level 1-30

    We need someone with "initiative" like yourself to drive the Scarlet Crusade to the grave. Prove to me you are capable of serving The Dark Lady by travelling west to the tower past the Solliden Farmstead and slaying 10 warriors of the Scarlet Crusade.

The storyline at a glance

Tirisfal Glades has 36 steps, from Ever So Lonely to Take to the Skies.
