Description

It's good to have you among us, <name>. We've all heard of your past deeds.

As you know, King Wrynn is moving great armies into Northrend to meet those of Arthas. But armies are nothing without true heroes to inspire and lead them.

I want you to be that hero for my men. Fight alongside them against the Scourge that lays siege to our stronghold.

Report to Sergeant Hammerhill outside the inner hold. Valiance Keep cannot fall. The future of our campaign depends on it.

It's a great little touch to see that, at this point in the game, your character has become famous in their own right along with Alliance heroes such as Bolvar and Tirion. No more "I say, nameless peon, go forth and slay some mangy wolves!", now bitches be givin' you the respect you deserve!

Where to go

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Enlistment DayBorean Tundra · Level 10-30

    You've come to enlist, right? Normally you'd have to stand in line like the other recruits. Normally you'd be out of luck because the recruitment ledger's gone missing and I can't process anyone until the new books get here.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • The SiegeBorean Tundra · Level 10-30

    Well, well, well. It's good to see Arlos bring out the big guns. Don't get me wrong - our lads are doing the best they can, but someone of your renown fighting alongside them could really turn the tides for us. I'm not sure how much longer we can hold out against these undead Nerubians.
