Description
I don't know how much longer we can hold out for, {name}. Crowley and Bloodfang's worgen know every hidey hole and safe spot in Gilneas. One minute they're standing in front of you and the next minute they're gone! We're gonna lose this war to attacks of opportunity, even though we have a superior military presence. But momma didn't raise no quitter! Forsaken until the end, my friend. Head west into the headlands and help our soldiers on the front line. Kill the attacking worgen rebels!

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- To Forsaken Forward Command
The time has come to destroy Crowley, Bloodfang and every dog at their command. To do this, though, will require cunning and planning the likes of which they would never dare dream!
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- In Time, All Will Be Revealed
The Dark Lady has sent you and Arthura here for a very specific purpose. Before I tell you more, we must make preparations. Head east into the forest of Gilneas and search near the trees and rocks of the region for a special plant known as wolfsbane.
