A World of Warcraft quest in Val'sharah. Facts and objectives from the current retail game data.
The highest voted Wowhead comments for this page. They are community notes, not TheWoWDB comments.
Blizzard has a funny idea of what a healer quest should entail...
Send you in with a weak dps NPC companion who has zero threat and tons of rapidly-respawning enemy mobs on a headhunt for named NPCs? Sure thing.
Easier to do this as a tank.
To turn this in, log out and back in and the idiot following you around ([npc=92842]) will suddenly have the ? over his head.

Description
Erdris Thorn was a key commander of Ravencrest's forces. To hear him confusing us for the Legion fills me with a great sadness. He will be a difficult foe to defeat. We must stop his squad leaders from forming up for a focused assault on Bradensbrook. Defeating them should delay his forces long enough for us to find and deal with him. Let us begin our grim task.
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.
- Shadowsong's Return
Well our lines are doing a lot better, thanks to you. A good thing too, because we need the rest! That being said, we noticed a big group of bigger, meaner risen coming from the farmstead. They would've given us a hard time, but that Shadowsong fellow has returned and killed them all.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Source of the Corruption
There was something wrong with those three, they had a fel taint about them that was... unsettling. I believe they were somehow woken later than the other risen. Curse the Legion and their meddling! The reinforcements are streaming out of Black Rook Hold from Heroes' Rest.
