Description

<The F.C.D. buzzes.> <Howls can be heard in the background.> {name}, do you read me? Come in, {name}. This is likely my final transmission. The worgen have overrun Forsaken Forward Command. It is now only a matter of time before the base is lost. Belmont and the val'kyr, Arthura, have left. Belmont mentioned that they will rendezvous with you at Emberstone Village, located to the northeast. Find Belmont, {name}. Our mission - our very existence - depends on it. You are our final hope.

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.
