Description

We have Zalamar, and we've got our fog. Now, we have to take the attack to the Horde. Our goal is to take as much land in Nazmir as possible to make the Horde think our main fleet is here. The first target is Zul'jan ruins, one of the Horde's main bases in Nazmir. We'll have to make our way through the swamps to our attack position. Meet us there.

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.

  • Fog of WarLevel 50

    Do not mind this, I am finishing off this insect. You have bigger matters to handle. Our army is moving within Zalamar as we speak. But the Horde will know our army's true size without aid.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Zul'jan DelugeLevel 50

    Through the mists is Zul'jan ruins, a major Horde outpost in Nazmir. We need to take it over to help our forces push forward. The Horde needs to believe a large Alliance army is here, so we're going to throw everything we've got at taking the ruins.
