Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • The AssassinHellfire Peninsula · Level 10-30

    <name>, we recently uncovered a plot to assassinate our envoy to Falcon Watch. Hellfire Citadel learned of our plans to send an expedition there earlier this morning and set up an ambush.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • The Warchief's MandateHellfire Peninsula · Level 10-30

    As you know, the warchief put his power behind this expedition for one reason. This is the world we came from. This is where our roots lie. This journey means different things to orcs and blood elves. To them it's a search for the promised land. To us it's more like returning home.
