Description

I'm not about to put the fate of this mission into the hands of some untested scrub.

Now, if you want to prove to me that you've got what it takes to carry out this mission, you'll need to do what I tell you.

Take this battle standard and head over to Baleheim, directly north of here. Once you're at Baleheim, find the center of town and drop our flag. Fight off any vrykul dirt bags that attempt to take down our beloved flag and return to me once you've established Alliance dominance!

I placed the banner by the fire pit just north of where you get the quest. Once you drop it, 3 mobs come 1 at a time, just kill them as they come and you'll be fine. I didn't even aggro any extra mobs while doing the quest.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Meet Lieutenant Icehammer...Howling Fjord · Level 10-30

    Do you see those vrykul buildings on the bluffs to the northeast? The vrykul call that place Nifflevar. It's where most of their harpoon attacks on our frigates originate. Well guess what? The time for payback has come, <name>.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Harpoon Master YavusHowling Fjord · Level 10-30

    That was a fairly strong showing at Baleheim, <name>. Before you go off patting yourself on the back there's work to be done at Nifflevar. We've located the vrykul responsible for the majority of the harpoon attacks on our frigates - goes by the name of Yavus.
