Description

I know we were just attacking the gnolls ourselves, but I'm not about to let the Dark Iron capture them as slaves. For one, we found the thieves and took back what was missing, so justice is served; for another, whatever work the Dark Iron will be putting them to isn't something I want to allow. Either way, the gnolls need to be freed. The trappers should have keys on them, so use those to open the cages.

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.

  • Dark Iron TrappersWetlands · Level 10-30

    You may have seen them while you were out, but the Dark Iron clan has been spotted in this area. They're never up to any good, and it looks like they're kidnapping the Mosshide gnolls for some reason. I don't know what their game is, but we're putting a stop to this before more foul play occurs.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Yorla DarksnareWetlands · Level 10-30

    I've found out who's pulling the strings on this operation here. Yorla Darksnare is directing the Dark Iron dwarves from a camp to the east, and it might've been orders to have the gnolls steal Ironforge's gold in the first place. What's more, she's a wanted criminal...
