Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • For the QueenLevel 50

    <You chose not to side with the traitor Saurfang and his troll lackey. Now that you know where Saurfang is, and who is with him, you should report to Sylvanas to see if she has any further orders.>

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Queen's FavorLevel 50

    I have two things to ask of you, and I do not ask them lightly. First, I need you to retain the favor of the warchief. She will undoubtedly have questions, and seeds of distrust may begin to grow, but she cannot lose you as an ally. Not now.
