This is the beginning of the story line for the BfA prepatch, it will be released in weekly segments.

When you have completed this story on one character you can bypass this chain and skip directly to the World Quests on other characters by turning in this quest, accepting The Horde Uprising, and then talking to Anduin again. An option will be presented to skip the story. Do not complete the quest to talk to Matthias Shaw. If you complete The Horde Uprising you will be unable to skip these quests and must complete the story line before being able to do the World Quests.

Description

{name}, As the Legion's presence wanes from our world, a new threat has risen. It is with a heavy heart that I must ask you to put your life on the line for the Alliance once more. I have received a disturbing message from our operatives stationed in Orgrimmar. I await your arrival at Stormwind Keep to discuss matters further.

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.

  • The Horde UprisingLevel 10

    Given the potential of Azerite to change the face of warfare, it comes as no surprise that the Warchief seeks to lay claim to it. Reports indicate that she is mobilizing an army to march on Silithus--the site of the great wound.
