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.

  • Desolation Hold InspectionSouthern Barrens · Level 10-30

    Thanks to you, the immediate threat is over. But my work here in the Barrens is only beginning. Honor's Stand was captured and Taurajo was sacked while Warlord Gar'dul was in charge of the region. The Warchief has sent me here to clean up his mess.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • FlightmareSouthern Barrens · Level 10-30

    The Alliance has hired in Wildhammer mercenaries to control the skies over the Battlescar. I believe these same gryphon-riders were the ones to firebomb Taurajo during the attack. I want our skies scoured clean. The wildhammer dwarves fly low enough for a sharp-eyed <class> to hook them. Take this.
