Description

Another Alliance recruit, eh? I'm Marshal McBride, commander of this garrison. We don't see many of your kind here, <race>, but we could sure use the help.

You've arrived just in time. The Blackrock orcs have managed to sneak into Northshire through a break in the mountain. My soldiers are doing the best that they can to push them back, but I fear they will be overwhelmed soon.

Head northwest into the forest and kill the attacking Blackrock worgs! Help my soldiers!

    The invading orcs aren't fools. They are sizing us up, making sure that when they attack it will be to their advantage. In the forest, to the northwest, are Blackrock spies. They peer at us through spyglasses, watching our every move - waiting. I want you take the fight to them!
