The fires in Blasted Lands are not visible unless you "revert" the zone to an earlier version.
To do so, speak to [npc=88206] at (48,7) in the far North of the zone, and select "Show me the Blasted Lands before the invasion"
You can then find the two fires:
- Alliance fire at (55,15), West of Nethergarde Keep, used for the following quests:
- Desecrate this Fire! (Horde)
- Honor the Flame (Alliance)
- Horde fire at (46,14), East of Dreadmaul Hold, used for the following quests:
- Honor the Flame (Horde)
- Desecrate this Fire! (Alliance)
For those of you whom are curious of what this is for; this is a seasonal quest called Midsummer Fire Festival. You put out your enemy's fire near one of their settlements. This will flag you for PvP. If you want more information check out: Midsummer Fire Festival Guide by Miyari.
