For those without co-ordinates, the entrance for underground (fearsome horrors x 4) is located between the 2 upward ramps leading to Gjalerbron. U should see 2 large green towers of light / fire. If u stand between these and have ur back to the Rivenwood forest, its right in front of u.

Description

Your service has been exemplary, {name}, but there is something that is troubling me: the Scourge. The Light cannot abide their presence, and neither shall we. I hope that it is not asking you too much, but I would have you return north to Gjalerbron and crush the unholy Scourge in that vile lair! Be sure to check for them in the Waking Halls beneath Gjalerbron as well. Purification is the key to salvation, my child. Make us proud!

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.

  • Necro Overlord MezhenHowling Fjord · Level 10-30

    The Scourge are at Gjalerbron and they have necromancers with them! They must be working to bring the vrykul into Arthas' fold. I want the leader of these necrolords eliminated!

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Sleeping GiantsHowling Fjord · Level 10-30

    I've overheard what you've had to say with Father Levariol. Allow me to suggest that he's not having you go far enough. You must also deal with the vrykul that lie dormant in the Waking Halls beneath Gjalerbron!
