While completing the quest(which takes place in it's entirety inside your garrison) make sure you take a moment to go inside your Town Hall. The place will be filled with npc's who are terrified of what's happening outside. Made me giggle. The miners stick around for awhile.
Quest line itself is short and easy. Don't be discouraged by the final boss, you don't have to kill her just damage her to a certain point before she... I can't tell you the rest for now. I'll ruin it.

Knew the Iron Horde would try to pull something like this after you recovered that artifact. Told Zog to move the thing to a more secure location and did he listen? No, he left it smackdab in the middle of the Garrison, ripe for the taking.
Urgh, quests like this are bad story-telling. They take agency away from the player and rely on the old "oh you've been stunned" trick to move the story along. It's not exciting, it's frustrating and annoying.

With the Heart of Gorgorek residing inside the garrison walls, we need to stay vigilant. The Burning Blade are known for attacking swiftly, and without warning. I have a number of grunts patrolling the keep. Dul'zak, one of our newer recruits, should have reported back by now.
