Description

Magister Bloodhawk finally deciphered the Legion missive you found earlier. It turned out to be attack plans sent by one of Highlord Kazzak's lieutenants - Arazzius the Cruel. Apparently, Arazzius commands the Legion ground forces in Hellfire. The time has come to terminate his command, {name}. Terminate with extreme prejudice. Head west to the Pools of Aggonar and put an end to this so-called 'Legion lord'. Today, the Horde reclaims Hellfire Peninsula. Let the Legion be damned.

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.

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • The Mag'harHellfire Peninsula · Level 10-30

    This news you bring from beyond the Dark Portal... you want us to believe the son of Durotan ruled over the lands beyond it... free from any demonic taint? And that now his people have returned to this world? I hope for your sake that this isn't some manner of joke, <class>.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • The Agony and the DarknessHellfire Peninsula · Level 10-30

    Greetings, <name>. I've deciphered the Legion missive and uncovered the demons' strategic plans for this Peninsula. Apparently, there is a large group of hellish terrorfiends gathering near the Pools of Aggonar in the west. We cannot allow such a force to go unchallenged.
