TheWoWDBI'm encountering a bug where the peacekeeper will not leave combat. He gets to 0 and just keeps fighting. Simply run away until you are out of combat. You still get quest credit. He gives up. He's too big boned to chase you.

I was 5/6 when someone next to me attacked the peacekeeper. I helped them but then couldn't complete the quest. I dropped it and started over but still didn't see the yellow dots. I realized afterwards that it was probably just the dots that were missing so I used my targeting macro to find them. (I keep the macro available and just change the target as needed).

If you are partied with a friend and performing this quest, there is a possible bug where if one of you finishes up faster than the other, the dwarf clusters will despawn and force either of you to pick up the quest again and restart from scratch.

Description
Many of my peacekeepers have already caught wind of Ardgrin's sedition. I am told some are losing faith in my integrity as Councilward, believing that I have been taking bribes from smugglers to bolster my own coffers. I can provide proof that no such transactions have taken place--clearly--but we need to stop them from murmuring amongst themselves and giving the rumors power. Lies become truths through repetition. If you find any discussing the matter, kindly disperse them.
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.
- Damage Mitigation
Obstorn has confirmed that Ardgrin, the overseer in charge of my supply line that runs from the Deeps into Dornogal, is the one who tipped off my peacekeepers. It is therefore also my opinion that Ardgrin is the one who penned this sedition.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Forcing My Hand
I do not know if Ardgrin merely intended to sabotage me or if he wanted to force a confrontation. Either way, a confrontation he will have. I believe this situation can be rectified peacefully, but I cannot do it as the Councilward. Steelvein has never appeared in the stone, but he must now.
