Description

Based on your report, and my knowledge of the Cult, they have an overseer managing the operation of each encampment on the gate. While taking their leaders down will only be a temporary setback, it will at least slow them down and keep them off-balance. And that, {race}, is a worthy enough goal for now. Seek out these overseers and return to me when they have been dispatched.

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.

  • Sneak PreviewIcecrown · Level 25-30

    Progress is being made. We have a promising array of tactics that should gain us control of the death gate. There will doubtlessly be many casualties, but in the end, we should be able to prevail - barring any interference from the Alliance. Our next focus will be Aldur'thar, the gate of desolation.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Cannot ReproduceIcecrown · Level 25-30

    I smell their cauldrons from here, but that's not plague they're cooking. Pledges to the cult are forced to drink a concoction that steals their will and enslaves them forever to the Lich King.
