Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.

After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Action This Day
Two of the Horde's strongest warriors have led a charge to try and capture our fleet. We cannot allow this, <name>. If they take our ships, they will use them to sail to Darnassus! Slay the two warriors leading the attack, and the rest of them will give up the fight.
