Distraction at Manaforge B'naar

Distraction at Manaforge B'naar is a quest for level 25-30 in Netherstorm. It is step 1 of 103 in the Netherstorm storyline, the opening step. The quest's turn-in marker is in Netherstorm at 32.1, 64.2. It rewards 1 reputation reward, 4,100 experience and money.

Description

We were sent here by the Sha'tar to investigate the manaforges that Kael'thas' army is operating here. Unfortunately, the Scryers threaten to renege on their information-gathering duties unless we support them with military action.

We can't afford to compromise this mission over politics, so we've agreed to weaken the manaforge's defenses so that the Scryers can do their work.

Prove your loyalty to the Aldor and slay the Sunfury magisters and bloodwarders that guard Manaforge B'naar.

    If our instincts are right and these manaforges have been made using technology from Tempest Keep, then all of Outland could be in grave danger. Tempest Keep's energy-recharging mechanisms were never supposed to be used this close to the land.
