Did anyone else see the irony in the quest objectives for this one?

"Slay Nazlara and find out what she knows." Um, slay her first? Shouldn't we find out what she knows then slay her? Or, has the Alliance found a way to talk to the dead?

Edit: Ah, she had orders ON her. I wonder how Halford Wyrmbane knew that.

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.
