What to do
Description
What in the world was that, {name}? Those were not cannons or catapults, that is for sure. Go outside and see what is going on.
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.
- Leader of the Pack
Excellent work so far, <name>. Our scouts have identified the leader of the Forsaken ground assault. One of Sylvanas' handpicked dark rangers is overseeing the battlefront from the Walden house near the shore. Take this whistle and use it when you're close to her.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Gasping for Breath
<name>! I was on my way when it happened. No time to waste. A good half of the town watch was in the area that collapsed. Get in there and save as many as you can. Make sure to get them out of the water and onto shore. I'll make sure they get any aid they need.
