This map points out the strategic locations of the Forsaken forces around Greywatch. A marker to the east indicates an apothecary camp where Dread-Riders are being supplied from.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Whispers from the DarkStormheim · Level 10-45

    We still have little knowledge of the Horde's activities in the region, but I'm hoping you can help change that. Lately the woods have been crawling with Sylvanas' agents. The few we have taken out carried orders from her Dark Rangers, who are no doubt in command of her forces here.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • To Skold-AshilStormheim · Level 10-45

    We have her now! According to these reports, Sylvanas' forces are after something in Skold-Ashil - a vrykul town not far from here. We must make our way there and track her down. I had previously dispatched Commander Lorna Crowley and a detachment of Gilneas Brigade to scout the position.
