What to do
Description
It seems like our arrival was noticed after all. Maybe there's hope for these people yet. I'll follow up with Ebyssian and the Horde leadership and try to smooth this out. You're on recon. See what this place has to offer. We may be here for a while, after all. Come find us once you're finished. Hopefully we'll have all the boring bits sorted out by then.
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.
