Description

You ever heard of John Keeshan, <name>? I was his commanding officer throughout all three great wars. Let me tell you, that man has killed more orcs than any man alive. If anyone can stop the Blackrock orc invasion, it's JOHN J. KEESHAN. We need to get him to help us or Lakeshire will be nothing more than a mound of rubble and ash after that massive Blackrock army marches through to Elwynn.

I heard he was fighting in the underground fight club at the Lakeshire inn. Find him and tell him everything you know.

No one mentioned anything about this guy. He's been around since launch; he was an escort quest before 4.0.3a in that blackrock cave up north, where you picked him up, pick up his weapons, kill a few -hundred- orcs to make your way back to Lakeshire.

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Yowler Must Die!Redridge Mountains · Level 7-30

    <The gnomecorder hums.> You need to find Yowler, <name>. He'll be located somewhere in the northern region of Redridge Canyons. Kill that mongrel and search his corpse for the Blackrock invasion plans. Should you succeed, bring the plans to me over at the town hall in Lakeshire. Solomon, out.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • This Ain't My WarRedridge Mountains · Level 7-30

    They asked me to fight in those wars. I didn't ask them! I did what I had to do to win. So I end up getting captured by those filthy, crap-swilling, maggot orcs and for five long years they used me as a toilet. Finally I break out and head back to my hometown and what do I get?
