Apparently being exalted with his Argent Crusade doesn't keep Tirion from calling me young and a "new recruit". Hmph!

Nathaniel here offers for you to continue on his mustang up to Hearthglen to meet with Tirion, do it, even at level 80+. The mount really is a fast mount, and more importantly, the mount allows you to stay mounted even inside Mardenholde Keep where you will find the Highlord.

If you're having trouble finding the guy, as you enter Mardenholde Keep, make a right, left, left - go up the stairs in the slightly larger room you're in, turn left, then an immediate right, up a small ramp, and enter the door on your right. He's in that larger room with another quest giver.

Description

Oh, before you go, {name}... I have a message for you. There's someone in Hearthglen who'd like to meet with you. Said he's "heard your name pop up" a few times already. Consider yourself lucky, {name}. Not everybody gets a personal audience with Highlord Tirion Fordring. Oh, and feel free to use one of my mustangs for the ride up there. They're the fastest money can buy.

Where to go

Pins are the quest’s own POI points from the current retail client, projected onto the in-game zone map. The game marks one blob as the quest’s turn-in; the rest are objective areas. Points that fall outside a map’s window are dropped rather than guessed at.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • This Means WAR (Wild Arachnid Roundup)Western Plaguelands · Level 15-30

    The Highlord was generous enough to send some of his recruits to protect us here at the mill. With your horsemanship skills, and their martial prowess, we can do away with this spider problem easily.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • A New Era for the PlaguelandsWestern Plaguelands · Level 15-30

    No longer does the Scourge hold this area. We, the living, are retaking Lordaeron. We have taken great strides already, as you have already seen. The earth flowers, the trees grow tall and green, and the wildlife is beginning to return. Yet a few remnants of undeath remain.
