Lord Walden's Top Hat, Blue-Bloodied Boots, Greymane Cloak, 10g 70s, 3,450 XPDescription
King Greymane has been taken prisoner by Lord Godfrey in Tempest's Reach! He managed to convince two of the eastern lords to go with his plan. The fool seems to think he can strike a deal with the Forsaken by turning Greymane over to them. Listen carefully, {name}. We need to resolve this with as little bloodshed as possible. This potion will allow you to sneak in undetected. We need you to assassinate the traitorous lords before this gets out of hand!
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.
- Onwards and Upwards
I will do as Darius asked and have our people move through the Blackwald. You ought to catch up with King Greymane. He and Krennan went into Tempest's Reach after Lord Godfrey confirmed survivors had made their dwelling there. Follow the road out of Stormglen into the mountains.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Flank the Forsaken
I thank you, <name>. We can't rest on our laurels, however. We found out about a mining town, currently under Forsaken occupation. We sent some of my men, along with Crowley's daughter to the nearby livery stables to begin operations there. Liam should be joining them shortly.
