Description

A moment, if you have one. One of my lieutenants, Shinda Creedpike, did not report in at first bonfire. That may not seem like a large issue to you, but the Arathi in Hallowfall survive only because we follow orders and stand for our brethren. I am not cruel. I do not want to punish a man for his weakness in this terrible environment. Can you find him and bring him back? Take all the time you need.

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.

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Fishing is Good for the SoulHallowfall · Level 75-78

    I used to fish with my mother at the local pond when I was a child. It wasn't the fish that made the experience--my mother was famously terrible at cooking--but the tranquility and bonding time. Perhaps I could find a portion of that peace again here.
