Description

Kiro's the leader of my caravan. He's always been far too passive.

I warned him we needed to make a preemptive strike against the sethrak, but he insisted that we keep our heads down and continue to quietly do business.

Look where that got us.

Our caravan was completely unprepared for their attack.

Now I'm ready to fight for what's ours, but I'm not exactly dressed for battle.

Help me scavenge some suitable equipment here among our enemies. We will use their own tools against 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.

  • Armed and ReadyVol'dun · Level 30-60

    You must be special if the sethrak didn't kill you right away. Either that, or you'd fetch a good price at the slave market. Don't worry though. We're getting out of here. I have a wagon at the entrance, but no weapon to fight with. Luckily, it seems the sethrak have plenty.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Answering Their AttacksVol'dun · Level 30-60

    The sethrak's attacks on our burrows cannot go unanswered. They need to learn that not all within the desert will give up so easily. The only thing the sethrak understand is blood, so that's the language we'll use to teach them.

The storyline at a glance

Unlikely Allies has 8 steps, from Discreet Discussions to An Explosive Exit.
