Breaking the Barrier

Breaking the Barrier is a Horde-only quest for level 5-30 in Silverpine Forest. It is step 42 of 57 in the Silverpine Forest storyline. The quest's turn-in marker is in Silverpine Forest at 51.9, 65.0. It rewards 1 reputation reward, 5,150 experience and money.

Description

While Godfrey and I make preparations for our assault upon Gilneas, I want you to lead our attack upon Ambermill, directly east of here.

The former Dalaran magi of Ambermill have erected a magical barrier that somehow cloaks them from vision. They currently reside within some type of pocket dimension, awaiting orders from the Alliance to begin their attack. We must prevent their assault by making a pre-emptive strike. Venture to Ambermill and find information that would grant us access to the mages.
