What to do

StorylineSouthern Barrens, step 61 of 89
Rewards10g 50s, 4,100 XP

Description

We have fought the Alliance to a standstill here, even as the land beneath our feet falls apart. To the east you will find the Battlescar, a wide swath of decimated terrain. It is little more than a line in the sand, but it must be OUR line. In the center of the scar you will find a flag marker designating who controls it. Scout out the flag. If it's not already ours, capture it for the Horde - it will swing the battle in our favor. Investigate the scar and kill anyone you find in there!

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.

  • SilithissuesSouthern Barrens · Level 10-30

    The silithid! They're bugs, <name>. Or something like bugs. They're not natural... and we built a fortress on the equivalent of an anthill. Take this burning pitch. It'll set the buggers on fire and plug up their burrows at the same time.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Intelligence WarfareSouthern Barrens · Level 10-30

    I am convinced the Alliance is using spies to scout the field and pass along information. They knew to strike at Taurajo while the hunters were afield. And they countered every one of Gar'dul's moves like he was an open book. Well <name>, I for one will not be outplayed. Not here.
