Description

There will be no help coming from Splintertree. The elves have launched a major assault on our stronghold there and they have the place surrounded! We must inform Kadrak or die trying! Your kodo has been loaded up with the wood you collected. Let me know when you're ready and we'll charge the enemy lines.

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.

  • Needs a Little OilAshenvale · Level 7-30

    You have your wood, but the encroaching elves have made it impossible for your kodo to return to Mor'shan Ramparts. I've dispatched a runner to Splintertree to summon aid. It shouldn't take long for their forces to clear the way. In the meantime, I would ask that you do us a service.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • To the Rescue!Ashenvale · Level 7-30

    You're coming with me, <name>. There's no one else that I can spare, and we cannot afford for Splintertree to be lost. Prepare yourself, and speak to me again when you are ready.
