Black Moon Rising

Black Moon Rising is a Horde-only quest for level 50 in Darkshore. It is step 2 of 11 in the In Darkest Night storyline. It rewards 6,800 experience and money.

Description

Darkshore has never been known for being bright and sunny, but something strange has happened here. A black moon hangs over everything.

None of the scouts I sent into the forest have returned. The night elves are up to something. And I need to know what it is.

Their rank-and-file won't have the information we seek. Hunt down their lieutenants and get them to talk by any means necessary.

If you forgot about these missions and came back to do them, don't fly or take the portal. You have to take the boat, as if you were going to Kul'Tiras.

There was a hut in this instanced version of Darkshore where I could claim my alchemy work order from my Draenor garrison. Weird!

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

Trouble in DarkshoreDarkshore · Level 50
We have received some disturbing reports from Darkshore. What was once a secure stronghold for the Horde is now beset by an unnatural darkness. The moon has turned completely black. The outposts there have yet to be reinforced with our main force and we are suddenly outnumbered.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

Dark Ranger Round-UpDarkshore · Level 50
These night elf ambushes have left us undermanned. We need reinforcements if we are to hold Darkshore. Brynja, one of the Dark Lady's val'kyr, can provide us with those reinforcements. Slay the night elves and command her to raise them into our service. Should any prove unwilling... deal with them.
