A Way Out

A Way Out is a Horde-only quest for level 50. It is step 3 of 13 in the Lost Honor storyline. The quest's turn-in marker is in Elwynn Forest at 30.6, 57.7. It rewards 850 experience and money.

Description

My spies report that our High Overlord did not leave the way he entered, nor any other way we know of. No signs of him were seen at any of the known exits from the Stockades or the sewers. He simply was in his cell one moment, and gone the next.

Begin your investigation around the city of Stormwind. There must be another way out that we do not know of.

Dark Ranger Lyana will meet you there. Her tracking skills are second to none.

Do not fail me, my champion.

Use the Legion Dalarn portal to Kharazan, it's not that far to fly across Duskwood from there.

ETA: Portal is now gone, not sure if they've moved a Khara portal somewhere else? Best bet is now to take the Blasted Lands portal, as mentioned below, not as close as Khara but it's not bad!

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • The High OverlordLevel 50

    I have asked you here to discuss a matter of great importance to the Horde. Varok Saurfang is no longer in Stormwind. Let us discuss this turn of events.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • On TrackLevel 50

    Keep your head down. We do not want to be seen out here. Our spies keep watch over Stormwind day and night, and saw no signs of Saurfang. Nor did we notice any oddly-oversized carts or strange ships in the night, if that was what you were thinking. How then, did he make his escape?

Lost Honor has 13 steps, from The Dark Lady Calls to Queen's Favor.

Maps its steps are placed on (steps per map): Redridge Mountains (5), Orgrimmar (4), Elwynn Forest (2), Swamp of Sorrows (2).
