Description

The undead are here! The Forsaken! They've been moving closer and closer, but to launch an all-out attack on us... those horrid abominations! The young draenei I was charged with have trained with the Highvale elves in combat. They are not defenseless, but they need help! Please, {name}, assist them! Drive back the Forsaken!

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.

  • Quel'Danil LodgeThe Hinterlands · Level 10-30

    I may appear far from home to you, <class>, but quite a few of my people were led here by Ambassador Rualeth. We have settled with the high elves of the Quel'Danil Lodge, to the northwest, to train in the ways of the Light and enjoy the peaceful beauty of this land. Such peace may be short lived.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • The Highvale DocumentsThe Hinterlands · Level 10-30

    The Highvale have kept detailed records here for years. Deaths, births, seasons... but also vital scouting information and methods of contact with the rest of the Alliance. The documents will be scattered in the chaos. If they fall into the hands of the Forsaken, more lives could be at risk!
