if you make the mistake of going up the hill and trying to fight the one bazillion mobs up there, you may fall off into a body of water that has waterfalls at both ends. I'm no hydraulics expert, but this is a little messed up.

Description

<Thalrenus looks you over.> You are not one of them. The Nightborne came to our gates hours after the shield over Suramar fell. We thought them friends, despite our long separation. We were wrong. They poured into our stronghold and began the slaughter. We were unprepared. Though we fought, we were beaten. The keep is lost. Our leaders have perished and their corpses lay in the streets. Find them, give them their final rites. While you search, look for survivors. Help them if you can.

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.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Sigil ReclamationSuramar · Level 45

    The smooth square sigil weighs a fair amount more than its appearance would suggest. Handling it results in an intense tingling sensation in your palm- this is an object of focused, pure power. Such an advantage should not be so easily surrendered to the Nightborne.
