So in the end, Saurfang's plan wasn't to make "Siege of Orgrimmar 2: Electric Boogaloo," but bring everyone from the Horde and Alliance together in one place and challenge Sylvanas himself.
If he won, great, the war would end without incident. If he lost, her followers would finally see how she did not care about them as he provoked her into revealing her true colors to them. Either way, Sylvanas lost.

What to do
Description
It is time. We have done all that we can to prepare. All that remains is the battle itself. I am not one for speeches. So I will say only this. Lok-tar ogar, {name}. Victory. Or death.
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.
- Strategic Deployment
For years, I guarded the gates of Orgrimmar. The city's greatest weakness has always been its multiple entrances. We should strike at all of them to seize victory. Wrynn and I have drawn up orders for deployment. The mages will cover our flank.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- The Price of Victory
Saurfang... I... <Lor'themar takes a moment to compose himself.> ...Thrall will wish to honor Saurfang's sacrifice. And so shall the rest of us. Recall our forces. Let them know what has transpired. Tell them that the great warrior Varok Saurfang is dead and that the warchief has abandoned us.
