This is part of one out of 12 possible weekly Garrison Campaign series. You receive one every week on a rotation.
- Garrison Campaign: The Sargerei
- Infiltrating the Sargerei
- The Word of Socrethar + Shattering the Enemy + Pesky Podlings + An Ancient Threat
- Facing Demons
- Socrethar's Fury > Awards [item=119134]
- Forging Ahead
Completion provides criteria 'The Sargerei' for achievement The Garrison Campaign, if you fill the assault bar you also get 800 [currency=823].
This worked for me, but maybe because the guy walks around your garrison and by walking it out and in he returned to the front of the town hall.
