Quest Log

Old Allies

Old Allies is a Horde-only quest for level 50. It is step 4 of 5 in the Stay of Execution storyline. It rewards 3,400 experience and money.

Description

Sylvanas Windrunner was once my ranger-general. Now she is my warchief. Through peacetime and war, I followed her orders.

Until now.

Baine is a noble soul. His execution would drive a blade into the very heart of the Horde.

We must save him, <name>. It is the only way to preserve who we are. What we stand for.

I have reached out to allies who will help you. But in siding with them, you will put your own life in peril.

If you feel as I do, then meet them in the Cleft of Shadows. Good luck.

"Baine represents all that is best in the Horde."

What a bunch of absolute hogwash. He said nothing about Sylvanas' plan or Azeroth's condition ever since the beginning of the expansion, never spoke out or confronted Sylvanas about it, acts behind her (and everybody's) back, speaks about making peace with the Alliance right after they thrash Zuldazar and kill their king, betrays the Horde by returning Derek to Jaina, and then has to be confronted by Sylavanas for Baine to speak out finally.

Baine is a dishonorable coward and he can burn in hell for all I care.

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.
