With the rock flayer population thinned, all that's left is to signal the safe path to our pilgrims. Return to the Great Fissure with this torch and seek the three beacons that mark the path from the east.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • The Great FissureHellfire Peninsula · Level 10-30

    We're dangerously close to becoming fenced in by Alliance forces. With the influx of sin'dorei pilgrims from Azeroth, we must establish a route that's safe from our enemies' prying eyes. I've given it some thought and have arrived at a solution.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Trueflight ArrowsHellfire Peninsula · Level 10-30

    With the influx of pilgrims and the encroachment of Alliance forces, things around Falcon Watch have gotten quite busy lately. In my spare time, I usually help prepare batches of arrows for the rangers, but I haven't had the chance to gather feathers for the fletching in a long time.
