Description

As soon as we arrived, Baine was whisked away. Bovan is still missing, so he is speaking to someone named Tagar. Of course I've been left out here in the cold. It seems they still don't trust me. In any case, you should go in and speak with the tauren. Take the items you found and try to identify who they belonged to. At the very least, you can let the families know what we've discovered so far. But... be gentle, {name}. For some of them, this may be the worst day of their lives.

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.

  • A Place of RefugeOhn'ahran Plains · Level 70

    Our next priority is to catch up with the others who fled during Bovan's stand. Hopefully, Bovan and the other braves have regrouped with them. This Tomul says the most likely place the tauren would seek refuge is an abandoned village to the southeast.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Pinewood TrailOhn'ahran Plains · Level 70

    If Bovan is not dead, and he is not here, then either he is still out there... or he has been captured. Given Tomul's message, I fear it's the latter. The Windtotem are safe for now, but with an attack possible at any moment, they can't spare any braves to go after Bovan.
