when you go to the tower get the quest and stair in the direction of the quest giving NPC, align him with the deathforge. when you start walking along that line jump into the pit (not sure all classes will survive this jump). once you fall into the pit immediatly on your left there is a cave, theres plenty of each in there, but be carful if you begin pulling them make sure there pulls, sorry rogues you cant pick them off by stealth, u must pull, or the place can become an agro haven.

Rewards10g 50s, 4,100 XP

Description

<Ewan listens to you recount the events at Legion Hold, nodding.> That puts our observations into perspective. We've caught glimpses of them launching infernals in the direction of the hold, but haven't been able to find much more than that. The Shadow Council has the Deathforge sealed tighter than a new keg o' thunderbrew. The first thing you'll need to do is crack some skulls so you can get in there and poke around. Start eliminating the Shadow Council guarding the entrance to the Deathforge!

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 DeathforgeShadowmoon Valley · Level 25-30

    From your findings at Legion Hold, we know that the Legion's Shadow Council allies are producing infernals in the Deathforge. I've dispatched a small scouting party to keep watch over the area, but they're not able to accomplish everything we need.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • The Fate of FlanisShadowmoon Valley · Level 25-30

    Wing Commander Nuainn originally sent three of us out here to keep watch over the Deathforge and to gather information. Flanis Swiftwing volunteered to try to infiltrate the Deathforge, but we haven't heard anything from him in days. I fear the worst, <name>.
