Orders for Your Captains

Orders for Your Captains is a quest for level 8-45. It is step 9 of 21 in The Key to Defeating the Legion storyline. The quest's turn-in marker is in Mardum, the Shattered Abyss at 60.5, 44.8. It rewards 6,150 experience and money.

Description

All that is left is to deliver your orders to our Illidari captains. The mightiest of the Legion's forces have arrayed themselves within the volcano. But, they will not remain on the defensive for long.

We must strike first and we must strike hard.

Once we destroy them, we can fly up to the command ship, defeat Brood Queen Tyranna, and take the keystone for our own. Lord Illidan will be pleased.

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.

  • Before We're OverrunLevel 8-45

    The doomguard commander and his queen must be dealt with. His eredar are summoning in a huge number of reinforcements. We need to put an end to him before the Legion overruns our new foothold up in the volcano! As an added benefit, you can steal his demonic power.

  • Give Me Sight Beyond SightLevel 8-45

    Jace Darkweaver swears that for a split second he sensed a demonic presence up and behind us. He took some of our forces up to the cave just to the southeast to investigate. They found nothing in the cave, but he is certain that something is amiss.
