Description

I thank you, <name>. We can't rest on our laurels, however.

We found out about a mining town, currently under Forsaken occupation. We sent some of my men, along with Crowley's daughter to the nearby livery stables to begin operations there. Liam should be joining them shortly.

I'll stay here and organize the final push for Gilneas City. Speak to Lord Hewell to secure a horse to get you there.

Don't run to where the question mark is. The question mark on the map is not where Lord Hewell is. Lord Hewell is standing right next to Genn Graymane, where you turn in the previous quest. Hewell gives you a horse to take you to the question mark.

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.

    King Greymane has been taken prisoner by Lord Godfrey in Tempest's Reach! He managed to convince two of the eastern lords to go with his plan. The fool seems to think he can strike a deal with the Forsaken by turning Greymane over to them. Listen carefully, <name>.
