Description
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. If you were to take out the apothecary in charge of creating this plague, it could stem the invasion and prevent the Dread-Riders from spreading the plague any further.
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.
- Whispers from the Dark
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-Ashil
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.
