Description

While we've yet to locate Xal'atath, we've received reports from deeper in the field of certain nerubians giving orders. It won't buy us too much but every action is critical. Take them out. Hopefully that will allow us some breathing room. Speak with Anduin after you are done. He and the Arathi girl went after Alleria.

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.

    Our forces may be able to hold their own, but seeing you in the fray may help their spirits. Take this warhorn. Let it ring out and fill our foes with terror. Once you're done rallying our troops, make your way to your commanders.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • A Light in the DarkHallowfall · Level 80

    Something is very wrong. As the battle continues, each side has become more aggressive. Alleria seems to know something - she ran off at one point during the battle. We've been giving chase, but I cannot leave these soldiers to die. She's just ahead, we can reconvene with her together.
