IMO you'd be crazy not to take the rep. 1000 rep takes a while to get, even in heroics, while money practically falls from the sky in all the Cata zones. 200g takes about a half hour at most to get without even trying.

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.

  • Kavem the CallousUldum · Level 30-35

    Kavem was cruel enough before the Neferset signed up with Deathwing. His pleasure in deriving pain now borders on the insane. It is he who now holds the keys to our shackles. He dwells in the building next to us, to my right. Find him and take the key from him. Do not hesitate or show him mercy.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Impending RetributionUldum · Level 30-35

    Now that you've been suitably rewarded, I hope I can speak with you frankly. You've done my kingdom a great favor, but you've also unbalanced a fragile peace process. I was pursuing my brother's release strictly through diplomatic means in order to avoid bloodshed.
