I have just done this quest. Wow. Just wow. Genn is finally as awesome as he should have been. I hope he gets a bigger role later in the expansion and finally avenges his son and Gilneas. Let's just hope they don't kill him ><

The Banshee Queen is here! I'd recognize those tainted arrows anywhere. This is the moment we have been fighting for. Sylvanas will answer for her crimes against Varian Wrynn and the Alliance! To arms!

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Becoming the Ascendant
Our course is now clear. We must enter the vault and prevent Sylvanas from obtaining the power to create more Val'kyr. The entrance is barred, which is likely what has kept her out so far, but you may have already uncovered the key to this barrier. You must become the next ascendant.
