Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • The Rear is ClearNorthshire · Level 1-10

    Excellent work, <name>! The rear is now officially clear. We'll take care of the stragglers. I want you to go back to Marshal McBride, standing in front of Northshire Abbey, south of here, and let him know that the goblin situation is under control. Farewell, <class>.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Extinguishing HopeNorthshire · Level 1-10

    Times like these make me long for when the Defias were still around. The cataclysm has opened a pathway from the Burning Steppes and now Blackrock orcs pour into Northshire Valley! They have taken over my vineyard and are burning it to the ground! TO THE GROUND!
