Description

Champion, I could use your assistance. The natives here in Silvermoon are proving to be less hospitable than we had hoped.

In their defense, their city is facing down a darkness unlike anything Azeroth has ever faced, so tensions are high.

Can you use your unique perspective and help de-escalate some of the hot spots that are emerging around Silvermoon?

As a heads up, you won't be able to pick up Reports Returned if you have not finished the full Zul'Aman zone Campaign. You will be able to continue this chain after you complete the Zul'Aman campaign quest Broken Bridges which makes Lady Liadrin appear on the bridge.

Edit: Thanks Nulgar for the additional information. It does look like each of the quests are possibly tied to a zone campaign and not necessarily a quest chain itself. Based on the collective info it is possible to assume the following:

Deepening Shadows - Requires Eversong Woods Campaign completion
Reports Returned - Requires Zul'Aman Campaign completion
You Know This Evil? - Requires Harandar Campaign completion

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.

    Champion, we have a bit of a delicate situation. The Vanguard of the Light has just informed me they have taken Magister Umbric into custody. Apparently he was trying to get close to the Sunwell. I do not have to tell you that tensions are high between my city and the Vanguard.
