If you completed Durotar quests up to being sent to talk to Ak'Zeloth, you may have been confused when that chain ran dry.

This is the reworked version of the culmination of that chain, where you deal a significant blow to the Burning Blade in Northern Barrens.

Not sure why they didn't find a smoother way of connecting the Burning Blade in Durotar to the Burning Blade in the Barrens, but there you go.

Description

Listen {name}, we can't leave quite yet. I managed to overhear their plans while they were preparing for the ritual sacrifice. They're planning to use a powerful artifact called the Demon Seed to launch a full scale attack on the Horde. They're keeping it under close guard over in that cave. If you can get your hands on the Demon Seed, we should take it to my sister Nagala. She'll know what to do with it.

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.

  • Mor'shan Caravan RescueNorthern Barrens · Level 5-30

    They took Balgor and the caravan supplies from our very doorstep! Those supplies are vital for our victory against the Alliance in Ashenvale, and Balgor...if anything happens to my dear little brother, I will rip every Burning Blade member to shreds myself.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Mor'shan Caravan DeliveryNorthern Barrens · Level 5-30

    You've managed to stir the Burning Blade's nest. Our scouts report that they are gathering for an attack. You must complete the caravan's journey before they arrive. The supplies are packed, the kodos are rested, and I hope you don't mind but I made a few adjustments to your gun.
