Rogues may remember Valeera was one of their champions back in Legion. As such, she has special dialogue when spoken to by a rogue:

Funny how we keep meeting under dire circumstances, <name>.

<Valeera smirks.>

Think you can convince Lady Proudmoore I'm not out to kill her? She really is going to want to hear this.

Player's response: "I'll vouch for you as well. What did you have to say?"

That is every comment on this page.

Description

While he was the gladiator known as Lo'Gosh, King Varian fought beside Valeera Sanguinar. He trusted her and that allowed SI:7 to have a... cordial relationship with her. Valeera's loyalty has carried on to King Anduin. During the fight with the Legion, I came to know her as a capable if... independent operative. She can go where even some of my agents cannot. We should listen to whatever message she brings. I imagine the source will be interesting.

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.

  • Reporting In!Level 50

    Well it looks like Ashvane's been out of contact for some time but this 'Patron' thing could be a problem. You did excellent work today, <name>. Those Loyalists aren't going to be thinking about causing trouble for awhile, heh. I'll make my way back. You take the letter to the High Commander.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • My Brother's KeeperLevel 50

    While I trust Valeera believes she is not leading us into a trap, I do not trust this isn't a Horde manipulation. <name>, I want you to come with me. I will meet with Baine, but I will not do so alone.

My Brother's Keeper has 7 steps, from Loose Ends to My Brother's Keeper.
