Read from the Blizzard quest API.

Description

It's not unusual to see SI:7 spies lurking around the city, but something about this doesn't feel right. We need to find where Saurfang's trail picks up. The last tracks were heading east, towards Redridge. The path to Redridge crosses the Three Corners, one of the Alliance's more well-defended towers. I have an idea. Meet me there.

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.

  • On TrackLevel 50

    Keep your head down. We do not want to be seen out here. Our spies keep watch over Stormwind day and night, and saw no signs of Saurfang. Nor did we notice any oddly-oversized carts or strange ships in the night, if that was what you were thinking. How then, did he make his escape?

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Corner CrossingLevel 50

    If Saurfang was headed in this direction, it would have been difficult for him to avoid the Three Corners watchpost. We could simply walk in there and demand information, but I have a feeling that they would not part with it willingly. So we will take another approach.

Lost Honor has 13 steps, from The Dark Lady Calls to Queen's Favor.
