The quest name is a reference to a song by Pink Floyd called Another Brick In The Wall, in which the line "All in all, it's just another brick in the wall" appears. The song was also covered by the band Korn. This is not the first reference of Pink Floyd in the game. The innkeeper in the Thrallmar inn in Helllfire Peninsula has the name "Floyd Pinkus".

Description

So, get this. As I was flyin' in, I took the opportunity to scope out what might be a defensible position. Just on the other side o' these boulders is an ideal clearing to hole up in. I even brought a set of blueprints to get us all settled in! That's not too presumptuous, is it? Anyway, whenever you're ready just hit this plunger!

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.

  • Penny From HeavenGorgrond · Level 15-40

    <Durotan looks at you curiously.> Those from your world are not much for subtlety, are they? Go on ahead and greet our new companion. We will join you as soon as we can make ready.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Your Base, Your ChoiceGorgrond · Level 15-40

    You have already constructed an impressive garrison in Frostfire. I believe I should defer this next choice to you. One region of Gorgrond is rich in resources. A lumber mill could help us make the most of them. Another region harbors hardened gladiators.
