Description

We are not the only ones who have discovered the value of the Southmoon Ruins. The dwarves of the Explorers' League have swarmed there, taking artifacts and inscriptions for the Alliance.

I don't think I have to explain much further. We will not allow the discoveries here to fall into the hands of the Alliance. Slay as many dwarves as you can, and drive them from the ruins!

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.

  • Thunderdrome: Grudge Match!Tanaris · Level 15-30

    It seems we have a special request! I have here a note from one Megs Dreadshredder, requesting to enter the cage and settle a dispute. She's asked for you to be her partner, <name>. A fan of your previous victories? Or perhaps you're acquainted outside the ring?

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Fragments of LanguageTanaris · Level 15-30

    At the Southmoon ruins, just east of here, we've made some finds. My colleagues have found stone shards, engraved with ancient writings, newly exposed by the shifting sands. The writings are in no known tongue, though they bear resemblance to markings we've seen on other ruins of the titans.
