What to do
Description
Don't mistake my caution for hesitance, {name}. I will defend the vulpera with my dying breath... I'd just prefer to avoid taking that breath today. While Nisha rushes to the front line, I work behind them to ensure our success. Meet me at the Faithless beast pens if you'd like to help. Oh, and take this torch. You'll be going through their marketplace, where they auction off slaves. Starting a few well-placed and metaphorically poignant fires along your route will make things easier for all of us.
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.
