If you're considering aggroing the Silver Covenant while releasing the prisoners, then running down the sewer pipe and levitating to safety; don't. It kills you anyway and drops you in Northern Barrens with no choice but to take rez sickness. Sigh.

Description

Compared to the rest of the city, this part of the sewers is relatively calm. This is good - we can extract more Sunreavers in peace than we can in war. Find as many citizens as you can. Tell them that it is not safe here, that they must leave the city at once. And try to stay clear of the Silver Covenant. We don't want to cause a scene if we can avoid it. Not yet, anyhow.

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.

Dalaran Quest turn-in no plotted point

Getting there

From the turn-in, the objective areas lie:

  • Objective areaabout 40 yards south-west
  • Objective areaabout 50 yards south
  • Objective areaabout 80 yards west

Straight-line distances in yards between the quest’s own map markers (QuestPOI) and the client’s flight-point positions (TaxiNodes); flight paths and terrain are not modelled.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • The Situation In DalaranLevel 15-35

    The night elves learned that the Divine Bell was stolen. This much we anticipated. However, they've also found out that the "neutral" Sunreavers of Dalaran were complicit. Now, we've got a situation. I need you to go to Dalaran. Speak with Kromthar for a ride.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Violence in the ArenaLevel 15-35

    As I suspected, it gets worse up ahead. The Silver Covenant is outright attacking innocent Sunreavers! This cannot stand. While our prime directive is to rescue Aethas Sunreaver, we must also protect as many blood elves as we can. I will continue to scout ahead. Fight well, <class>!
