Description

He is near, <race>, I can feel it.

We must search Shala'nir for Malfurion. If we do not find him soon, I fear he will be lost to me forever.

I was unsure of your worth when first we met. I know now that you will not fail me.

I am... grateful.

if you get to the town and nobody is there drop the quest. Go back up to the Road leading into town and Whisperwind will be waiting to give the quest again.

Once you follow her into town malfurion will be in the 2nd house on the right.

The next spot he will be at is by the lake but it is not the one in front of the raid instead he will be at location 62. 33.

You will then find him 59.32 in front of the darkheart thicketing meeting Stone

And lastly you will not find him in town per se; rather, near 57.38 just near the entrance of the emerald nightmare instance where it will go to a cutscene.

When you finish, Tyrande whisperwind will be waiting to complete the quest.

Hope this helps
