From the last lantern go north along the scar until you see the road going left... take a left again in the intersection, all the way to the end and you'll find the tower and the mobs. Behind the tower there is a statue and next to the plaque is lantern you have to light.

For the purpose of this quest she has already turned traitor (remember "the Horde is nothing"). I think Lor'themar means that even though she has turned on the Horde, he will remember her sacrifice regardless. Remembering the good someone did does not mean you are on their side.

Description

The next memory... Forgive me. For many of our people, it was when we realized death was coming for us. A memorial to a particular defender lies to the west, in the place of her home. The light there has no doubt attracted some of the area's lingering souls. Clear them out, and then relight the flame.

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.

  • The First to FallLevel 50-90

    Arthas cut through the land itself to get to the Sunwell. The Dead Scar is a constant reminder of that desecration. Where it starts is where our first line of defense attempted to hold the Scourge at bay. It is where the first blood was spilled. It was a slaughter.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • The Day Hope DiedLevel 50-90

    The Ranger-General fell just east of Fairbreeze Village, where she was holding the line to protect the civilians as they retreated to Silvermoon. If it wasn't for her, our people would number even less than we do now.
