Abbey 72, 73: Enter & veer left. Follow the wall on your left. Continue past the first room until you see a room with a large bookshelf next to a stairway going up. This is the library wing. Go right past the bookshelves & enter the room at the back on your left. The orders will be on a table to your left.

Barracks 70, 72: Enter, hang a right, at the end of the hall turn left. Do not continue to the room ahead. Immediately, turn left again, at the first corner. Continue forward past the first doorway/arch. On the right will be the staircase going down to the basement. Continue forward past the downward staircase & look to the right. The table with the orders is right there. There is a staircase going up behind it.

Beach 71, 80: The orders are in a 2 tent camp, on a box between the fire & a tent.

Description

I need to know what New Hearthglen is up to. I want you to steal their orders of the day so that I can find that out. Head south and in their abbey, in their barracks, and on their beach, find those daily plans! Just in case you're confused, the barracks is the large building right next to the smithy.

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.
