Description

These plans you recovered weave an interesting tale, {name}. The Stormpike have been moving their armies from Alterac Valley into the "four fingers" of Hillsbrad for over a month. Somehow they have managed to secretly get their installations set up without our forces knowing. Had we not received these plans they would have marched on us in a week's time, annihilating everything in their path. With these plans, though, we can turn the tables. This is what we must do...

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.
