Description

You must have many questions, <name>. And they will be answered in time.

I know why you're here and what you're looking for.

I can't lead you there with the enemy tracking you.

One of Sylvanas's scouts has been following your tracks. You can't lead the Forsaken to the place you seek. Take this talisman and walk along the road just north of here.

Let the ranger lure you to her trap and use the power of the talisman to break free and counterattack.

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 BlackwaldGilneas · Level 1-20

    It took a while, but I think I've put together what happened here. At least partially. There were survivors of the Curse in this town. They joined others in the mountains, in Tempest's Reach. Everyone left, except the man who kept the journal, old man Bradshaw.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Tal'doren, the Wild HomeGilneas · Level 1-20

    There are others like you, <name>. And they too, were lost and confused. There is a place where you belong. Tal'doren, the wild home, was once home to an order of druids who took the shape of wolves. It is there that you will find the answers you seek.

The storyline at a glance

Gilneas has 100 steps, from Lockdown! to Rut'theran Village.

Maps its steps are placed on (steps per map): Gilneas (89), Gilneas City (11).
