Description

You've done an admirable job down here, {name}. Force Commander Valen has taken notice and requested that you see him immediately. He's got a special mission lined up for you - one that'll hopefully put a cold stop on the Horde's incursion into Stonetalon.

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.

  • Shuttin Her DownStonetalon Mountains · Level 10-30

    To bring this mine down you're gonna need to blow up her support beams. I can provide you with the explosives you'll need, but you're gonna have to trudge through Krom'gar assassins to get to all of the beams.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Death by ProxyStonetalon Mountains · Level 10-30

    Can you hear them fighting down below, <name>? It would appear that the Grimtotem tauren are no longer in the good graces of the Horde. I don't know what happened, but we can turn this to our advantage. I will arrange a meeting with an ambassador from the Grimtotem.
