To progress with the quest chain, you will also need to complete the quest "Cementing Our Victory", given by Omak."Cementing our victory" is in the same area as this quest you might as well pick it up and do them both together; Omak is outside the portal tent. Once both are completed Artesh will hand out the next quest "The Warchief Will Be Pleased". This is not immediately clear and it took me a while to work out how to progress.

If you just want the portal to twilight highlands to open for you, finish this quest then do Cementing Our Victory", given by Omak right outside the hut. After this, the portal is opened back to the city. One more quest for the boss gets you the portal opened fully.

What to do

StorylineTwilight Highlands, step 72 of 236
Rewards13g 74s, 4,800 XP

Description

The elemental powers are strong here in the Highlands, {name}. It is why the Twilight's Hammer chose to build their stronghold here. In the right hands, we can channel this energy into something productive... like a portal directly to Orgrimmar. Northwest of here, at the Verrall River Delta, water elementals have been stirred up by the actions of our foes upstream. Destroy them and gather 5 whirlpool cores. You'll not only calm the river, you'll power up our portal.

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.

  • Securing the Beach HeadTwilight Highlands · Level 30-35

    Something troubles me, <name>. The Twilight dragons knew just where and when to strike our airfleet. It's as if they knew our plans. Twilight spies cower within our midst! I'm going to take one of our remaining ships back to Orgrimmar to roll some heads.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Cementing Our VictoryTwilight Highlands · Level 30-35

    Our alliance with the Dragonmaw is secured, but this port is far from combat ready. These flimsy wooden walls are an embarrassment to the Warchief. When water elementals carve their way through rock, as they have in the Verrall River, they create a peculiar kind of muck.
