What to do
Description
The firestorms up ahead are unbound elementals in the purest form - something I didn't think could exist outside their own plane. Only very skilled summoners could unleash something like this. {name}, head into the Inferno and seek out Twilight Inferno Lords. They've got to be summoning in reinforcements as we speak. Silence them... For good!

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Return from the Firelands
I'll usher out the rest of the followers of Lo'Gosh and seal this portal behind us. The rest of our forces at Mount Hyjal will want to hear of this victory. Return to Takrik Ragehowl and let him know what we've discovered and how we were triumphant!
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Save the Wee Animals
Help us, <class>! The forest is aflame, and the wee animals can't find their way out. They can't fight for themselves, with their teeny-tiny little teeth and their soft furry paws! They're fluffy and sweet. They have wet little noses! If you don't save them, I don't want to even THINK about it.
