TheWoWDBYes it is, just did it like minutes ago. If you are a Belf or other race that went straight to undead starting zone to do quest, you might have to kill a extra mob or two and lvl up. Not being an undead, you don't get to finish couple of beginning quest + class quest; which leaves you couple of hundreds xp short from lvling, and not meet the required lvl for the next chain quest.

Description
While you were taking care of matters for Executor Arren, I went off on an assignment of my own. Shadow Priest Sarvis asked me to peek in on the Rotbrain camp. There's a reason why they're called Rotbrains. Their leader goes by the name of Marshal Redpath, and he's an absolute beast. Look, {name}... the attack is starting. You're better in combat than I am. Get in there and help out! When you're done, meet up with Shadow Priest Sarvis in the chapel. Good luck, {name}.

mental instability leads to death. Better being dead than being the slave of a ruthless master (not the LK but insanity in this case) for the forsaken
Marshal Redpath hits surprisingly hard for a level 5 NPC as of 6.0.2. I was doing this on a level 4 Lock alt and his Heroic Leap one-shotted me for ~210 dmg but if you pull him towards the Deathguards they will usually attack and pull aggro off of you long enough to kill him, if you're sorta squishy.
