For me, this quest was bugged. When I was trying to turn it in, I realized that everything was missing. All NPCs, mobs and even resource deposits (herbs, ore, fish) outside of Andorhal were gone. Even when I left Western Plaguelands, there was still nothing.

I solved the issue by going to Stormwind (the gryphon master in Andorhal was still there) and while 90% of the NPCs and all of the portals inside the Mage Tower were missing, the portal to Darnassus at the Harbor was still there. Took it, took the portal back and everything was back in place. Took the gryphon to Chillwind Camp and voilà: I could turn in the quest. Maybe closing the game and turning it back on would've worked as well, but I only tried reloading, which did nothing.

You know it's bad when my Horde for Life ass is rooting for Thassarian. I would much rather have lost the town than have what happened to Koltira, happen to Koltira. I even knew the outcome before starting on the quest, but it was so much worse watching the cut scene. I've always preferred the Kalimdor Horde, but now I'm getting to where I hate The Forsaken. I swear, if the Alliance on my server attacks UC, I am going to zip over as fast as I can...so I can stand there and cheer them on.

The quest title is a reference to the original quest to kill Araj, pre-Cataclysm.

On a side note, I was surprised by the effectiveness of Blizzard's storytelling with this zone. It was short, to be honest, but it REALLY showed how evil the Forsaken are becoming.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • AradneWestern Plaguelands · Level 15-30

    Our last hope of victory lies in defeating the val'kyr. You've done well up until now... but you're only one man and there are literally dozens of them raining destruction on the battlefield. One enormous val'kyr sits atop the tower to our south... you can see her from here.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Scourge First... Alliance LaterWestern Plaguelands · Level 15-30

    Darkmaster Gandling of the Cult of the Damned leads the Scourge offensive here in Andorhal. My old counterpart, Thassarian, leads the Alliance forces. If we're to win Andorhal, we'll have to defeat both, but we will certainly fail if we take on both at once.
