It seems like with the new scaling shenanigans, Kolitra can "disappear"... I assume he's getting killed by farmer militiae that make it past the abominations. If he's not there to turn this (and The Farmer's Militia) in, just wait and he will eventually respawn.

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.

  • Supporting the TroopsWestern Plaguelands · Level 15-30

    While it is true that these farmers threaten to overrun us, we still cannot forget about the Alliance's main forces. Travel west into Andorhal and slay the human soldiers that are fighting with our deathguards. We need all the help we can get.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Lindsay Ravensun, RevealedWestern Plaguelands · Level 15-30

    I was informed that that worthless woman, Lindsay Ravensun, would be here to support me in this battle, but so far, she's done nothing but brood within the basement of the greathall behind me. All the better, I suppose. She was a bit of a distraction.
